The Lincoln Center Theater production of the Tony Award-winning musical Falsettos officially opens tonight at the Walter Kerr Theatre (219 West 48th Street).  William Finn and James Lapine's beloved musical  is the story of the charming, neurotic Marvin, who struggles to find an unconventional and loving extended family after leaving his wife and son for his lover Whizzer.

Tony nominated actor Andrew Rannells stopped by this morning's TODAY to talk about his upcoming starring role in the highly-anticipated Broadway revival of FALSETTOS.
