	Amazon.com: Falsettoland (1990 Off-Off-Broadway Cast): Music: William Finn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		It's the early 1980's: yuppies reign supreme, Ronald Reagan is in the White House and a mysterious killer virus (as yet unnamed) seems to be killing predominantly young gay men.
		And so it is that the shadow of AIDS crosses the paths of our lovably dysfunctional Jewish-American family, bringing down Whizzer Brown in his prime and drawing the extended family together in support of a bereft Marvin.
		While not as wacky as "March of the Falsettos," "Falsettoland" achieves a depth and a pathos not as evident in the two previous chapters (the first being "In Trousers").

		While the obligatory gray heads occupied the first half-dozen or so rows of the recently renovated 290-seat theater, the rest of the audience was primarily composed of gay male couples -- and not the bulging-pecs boxer-walkers of Lincoln Road but regular guys in their late thirties, early forties, and beyond.
		Falsettoland is a compassionate musical comedy that places homosexuality and AIDS not on the fringes of society but smack-dab in the center of the American family.
		With Tony Award-winning music and lyrics by William Finn, Falsettoland is the final part of Finn's "Marvin" trilogy, which began with In Trousers and continued with March of the Falsettos.

		It was past midnight on a Sunday evening and director Job Christenson had just finished a rehearsal for the musical "Falsettoland." Exiting the Arena Theater, his arms overflowed with costume pieces, three pairs of women's shoes, and a garden salad from Burger King.
		These men are at the head of the "Falsettoland" production team, but their relationship transcends the cinder-block walls of the theater.
		"Falsettoland" continues the story of Marvin, a man who has left his wife and son for another man. The wife, who has run off with Marvin's psychiatrist, is consumed with her son's upcoming bar-mitzvah.

	"What Has AIDS Done to Land of 'Falsettos?'"
		"Falsettoland," William Finn's sequel to "March of the Falsettos," is a jubilant musical of courage and humor that, because it takes place in 1981-82, cannot help but deal with AIDS, writes Frank Rich for the New York Times.
		However, in "March of the Falsettos" the "sober" songs were about acne and the death of passion, while the ballads in "Falsettoland" deal with denial, rage, empathy, hope, and death, Rich writes.
		Finn takes a defiant stand and turns the entire play on its head in the chilling finale, Rich concludes, where the play is transformed by AIDS as gay society has been transformed by a decade of mourning.

		"Falsettoland" is the third chapter of a trilogy started with "In Trousers" and "March of the Falsettos." Both were also written by William Finn.
		Set before the '80s rolled around (a decade that arrived in a silver BMW, spilling champagne on her silk Gucci blouse), these first two shows did not anticipate the complications AIDS -- first called the "gay cancer" -- would bring to the nation.
		Through all this music and disarming laughter the script makes possible and this production delivers, there is, however, a true test of the this musical's worth that has more to with sorrow than joy.

	Review of "Falsettos"
		The fictional action of the shows takes place in 1979 and 1981 respectively, but they were written in 1981 and 1990, and not combined into their current format until 1992 when they opened on Broadway.
		From their sexually charged sparring in March of the Falsettos to their touching reunion and ultimate separation in Falsettoland this is the most refreshingly unstereotyped gay couple I have encountered in modern theatre.
		I mentioned that it is hard to cotton up to the two “intruders” in Falsettoland, and Denniston and Stern are saddled with the least sympathetic and most stereotypical roles, but they comport themselves gamely and sing nicely, so that by the end you are glad they are there.

	Falsettoland, a CurtainUp review
		Falsettoland is the final part of Finn's "Marvin" trilogy, which began with In Trousers and continued with March of the Falsettos.
		Singing voices are a special treat, reflecting the Broadway backgrounds of many of the cast members, and certainly finer than the show's off-off Broadway label would normally deliver.
		I might quibble with the characterization of Falsettoland as a classic just yet, but it is nice to see it back on a New York stage, especially in such good hands.

	Miracle House "Falsettoland" Concert - Published October 16, 2006
		Falsettoland, which was first produced in 1990, is one of a trilogy of musicals; the other two, In Trousers and March of the Falsettos, were produced at Playwrights Horizons in 1979 and 1981, respectively.
		With its connection to the AIDS crisis and its message about the bonds within a family, Falsettoland was a natural fit for a benefit.
		The whole world of dysfunctionality that is presented in Falsettoland becomes a functional setting where people work through their differences and band together to take care of someone they love.

	'Falsettoland': It's Family That Matters, No Matter What Family
		The troupe has taken "Falsettoland," William Finn's lyrical paean to Jewish angst, with its aggressively Jewish New York sensibility and multiple references to gefilte fish, and recast it with Asian-American actors.
		"Falsettoland," a chamber musical Finn wrote as the sequel to his earlier work, "March of the Falsettos" -- the two were merged in 1992 to create the Broadway musical "Falsettos" -- returns at an advantageous moment.
		"Falsettoland," in contrast, is Finn at the top of his playfully twisted game.

		Falsettoland — the final part of Finn's Marvin trilogy (In Trousers, March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland) — centers around the planning of a bar mitzvah for Marvin and Trina's son Jason, while Marvin's lover Whizzer becomes stricken with a then-mysterious, fatal disease.

	KU OPERA TO STAGE TWO PRODUCTIONS
		"Falsettoland," written by William Finn and James Lapine with music and lyrics by Finn, was originally produced off-Broadway by Playwrights Horizons Inc., with Lapine directing.
		Set in 1981, "Falsettoland" is the story of Marvin, a charming but spoiled and neurotic man who becomes aware of his sexuality and leaves his wife and son for a male lover.
		Ferrell said while "Falsettoland" dealt with gay issues, the characters were very human.

	Miami - Arts & Entertainment - High Notes - miaminewtimes.com
		The audience at the 26th Street Theatre's production of William Finn's musical Falsettoland can be as idiosyncratic as the play itself.
		Originally produced in the early Nineties but set a decade before that, Falsettoland could easily be seen as a period piece or, even worse, as outdated.
		Although inspired by Falsettoland's music, Kelley also was compelled to depict a time period to which he himself feels very connected.

		Falsettoland opens with Jason's bar mitzvah approaching and Marvin realising that "it's time to grow up and face the music".
		It is not just growing up but also growing old in the era of Aids that proves difficult.

		This individual excellence adds up to general excellence: for craft and for heart, Falsettoland is the first great musical of the '90s, and will probably loom just as large when the decade is over.
		The musical, which Finn later incorporated into his Broadway hit, "Falsettos," centers on two gay lovers, the son and ex-wife of one of them, her new husband and two lesbian neighbors.
		Since 1992, the trilogy usually has been performed all at once, with each director deciding on the numbers from each musical to be used.

		And for you DIEHARD Falsettos fans out there you must know that March of Falsettos and Falsettoland are part 2 and 3 of a trilogy.
		These two works are some of the best work written for the American musical stage in the past thirty years, and absolutely are worth listening to again and again.
		Of the two, "March of the Falsettos" fares better overall than "Falsettoland": the latter has its moments, but is fairly sentimental (although understandably so given the subject matter), and the character of Trina vanishes somewhat from the foreground.

	Tucson Weekly : Arts : High Notes
		As a whole, though, Falsettoland is about friendship, love and family, and how people create bonds regardless of little details like blood and sexual orientation.
		Jason's presence on a Little League team allows for some wry observations on the futility of Jewish boys trying to play baseball, and Mendel isn't quite the comforting figure he'd like to be; his advice to Jason is that everyone hates his parents--and when you grow up and have kids, they'll hate you, too.
		The only complaint one could make is that March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland exist as a two-act combo called Falsettos, and with a Falsettoland production this satisfying, it's a pity that we couldn't have more.
