What happens

The Boys in the Band is a 2020 American drama film directed by Joe Mantello, based on the 1968 play of the same name by Mart Crowley, who also wrote the screenplay alongside Ned Martel. Crowley had previously adapted the stage play for a 1970 film directed by William Friedkin and starring the original Off-Broadway cast. The remake film stars the full roster of exclusively openly-gay actors from the play's 2018 Broadway revival. Netflix released the film on September 30, 2020, to positive reviews from critics.
