THE BIG GAY MUSICAL Offers Special 'Gypsy' Preview 9/7

With a cast of incredible Broadway talent The Big Gay Musical will offer a special "Gypsy" preview for performers and theatrical professionals before its New York premier on Sept 11th. With a cast that has performed (or are still performing in) over 50 musicals, producers want to give the film's actors and colleagues who won't be able to attend the opening weekend events a chance to catch the film. The screening will take place at Chelsea Clearview Cinemas (where it will also be making its New York premier) with a reception at 4pm followed by the film at 5pm. Tickets for the reception and screening are $9 for anyone with their union card or a business card stating their theatrical profession. Tickets are limited and can be purchased at the Chelsea Clearview Cinemas. Written and produced by Fred M. Caruso with music by Rick Crom (Newsical, Bonnie and Clyde) The Big Gay Musical is a hilarious story that mixes backstage drama, conservative religious families, coming out, coming to terms, and the occasional tap dancing angel!

Eddie and Paul have just begun previews for the new Off-Broadway musical "Adam and Steve Just the Way God Made ‘Em." When life begins to imitate art. Eddie is dealing with how his sexuality and religious upbringing can mix and Paul is looking for the perfect man. Eddie comes out to his family and Paul goes on Manhunt. Eddie's parents are destroyed by the news and Paul can't even have a good one-night stand. But after musical numbers, a cameo by Rick Skye as Liza Minnelli, a retelling of Genesis, tele-evangelists, a camp that attempts to turn gay kids straight, and a bunch of showtunes, everyone realizes that life gets better once they accept who they really are. And they are just the way God made ‘em.
