The Boys In The Band | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Andrew Rannells stars in the new Netflix movie The Boys in the Band alongside his real-life boyfriend Tuc Watkins and he’s opening up about how they fell in love while working together!

The two actors previously starred in the Broadway production of The Boys in the Band in 2018 and they reprised their roles for the movie.

“It’s called a show-mance. It’s when you fall in love during a show,” Andrew said while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show. “We met and I felt like such a lazy actor that I fell in love with my co-star. I was like this is so cliché.”

He added, “Also have you seen him? He’s very attractive. What was I supposed to do? Not date him? It was strange. Like the first time we kissed it was for work… but it was weird, it was like, Oh we are getting paid to do this.”

The first trailer for The Boys in the Band is here!

Ryan Murphy has produced the movie version of the Broadway play, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play last year.

Here’s a synopsis: In 1968 New York City – when being gay was still considered to be best kept behind closed doors – a group of friends gather for a raucous birthday party hosted by Michael (Jim Parsons), a screenwriter who spends and drinks too much, in honor of the sharp-dressed and sharp-tongued Harold (Zachary Quinto). Other partygoers include Donald (Matt Bomer), Michael’s former flame, now mired in self-analysis; Larry (Andrew Rannells), a randy commercial artist living with Hank (Tuc Watkins), a school teacher who has just left his wife; Bernard (Michael Benjamin Washington), a librarian tiptoeing around fraught codes of friendship alongside Emory (Robin de Jesús), a decorator who never holds back; and a guileless hustler (Charlie Carver), hired to be Harold’s gift for the night. What begins as an evening of drinks and laughs gets upended when Alan (Brian Hutchison), Michael’s straight-laced college roommate, shows up unexpectedly and each man is challenged to confront long-buried truths that threaten the foundation of the group’s tight bond.

Look out for the film on Netflix on September 30, 2020.

The entire original cast of the Broadway revival – Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Andrew Rannells, Charlie Carver, Robin de Jesús, Brian Hutchison, Michael Benjamin Washington, and Tuc Watkins – is reprising their roles in the Netflix movie, which will be released on September 30.

The story follows a group of gay men who gather for a birthday party in 1968 New York City, only to find the drinks and laughs interrupted when a visitor from the host’s past turns the evening upside down.

The Boys in the Band, which was written by Mart Crowley, was an unexpected smash hit when it premiered on Broadway over fifty years ago.

Ryan Murphy is taking The Boys In The Band to Netflix!

The American Horror Story creator revealed the news on his Instagram on Wednesday (April 17).

“The Broadway cast of Boys was so important to me, and as equally groundbreaking as Mart Crowley’s seminal work. Everyone in the cast was out and proud…and feeling so blessed to mark the 50th anniversary of Mart’s landmark play. The entire Broadway cast will reprise their roles in the film.”

The cast includes Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Andrew Rannells and Matt Bomer.

The Boys in the Band follows a group of gay male friends who convene in an Upper East Side apartment for a birthday party in 1968. The relationships and conflicts reveal themselves throughout the evening, and the script uses various characters to explore self-loathing and the internal struggles unique to gay men.

The movie is set to hit Netflix in 2020.
