Just saw an add for this musical. I love new gay musicals but haven't heard much about this except for the press release. Went to the website to try to hear the music but there's nothing on there. Anyone know if it's any good?

It's wonderful. Funny, terrific score, great performances and ultimately very moving. The audience went crazy at the preview I attended.

I've heard good things. Seeing it this weekend. Excited to see a musical based on this little-known piece of LGBT history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UpStairs_Lounge_arson_attack

I definitely want to try to make it to see this. As a gay New Orleans native (not sure if that's obvious from my screen name The View Upstairs? ) this story is intimately meaningful to me. I'm glad to hear that it is done well.

I sent MadonnaMusical a PM a few days ago about comp tickets, but I haven't heard back. MadonnaMusical - are you interested?

If she doesn't I will! I follow the scenic designer on IG and the set looks awesome!

Thank you, I didn't notice I had a message. I already saw the show last week though. I'd normally leave my review here, but if you're with the show... I now feel awkward about it lol. I'll just say - outstanding cast, great set design, and the writer has a lot of potential. The show could use a lot more development... a few more drafts... but it has a lot of potential.
