30 Days of NYMF: The Gay Agenda

By Micah Bucey and Nicholas Williams

We write songs and bake cookies.

That’s about all we’re good at and, therefore, all we do.

Our mothers say: “Boys, why don’t you do things like corporate lawyering and watching extreme sports?”

We say: “Because no one ever took over the country being a corporate lawyer couch potato.”

We are The Gay Agenda because we have to be. It is our destiny. We can find no better way to infiltrate this fragile, damaged, conservative world than through the jaunty rhymes and lilting melodies of good, old-fashioned showtunes. These delightfully catchy confections can work religious magic. They really can. We’ve seen it happen in our audiences before. Our shows are like tent revivals with fewer snakes and more chocolate chips.

You don’t believe us? Well, come and delight in our one-night-only GREAT BIG BROADWAY SHOW, and have your hungry minds and mouths blown. Our cookies are good and there will be plenty of them. But our songs are even better, and there will be even more of those.

You say you want to know what to expect? Well, two homos, tight harmonies, a piano, a trumpet, and baked goodness. Isn’t that enough, dear NYMFo? OK, there will be some near-nudity. Is that better?

You say you don’t know what cookies have to do with musical theatre? Well, if you already did, would you still come to the show? We don’t think so, so we’re not telling you yet. We like to keep you interested.

Our mothers think we should marry nice girls and settle down. But as long as there’s an undying need for syncopated storytelling that can save the planet, we’ll be as restless as Rodgers and Hart, just a tad more self-aware than the latter, and a lot less homophobic than the former. 

The fact of the matter is: You love musicals and we love you. It’s all so simple, right?
