New Line Theatre's sporadically produced musical revue
Out on Broadway returns for only the third time in 21 years with
Out on Broadway: The Third Coming. It's an exceptionally simple set-up: You take five male singers, give them a pianist as accompaniment, and let them loose to tell their stories — the loves, losses and lives of five gay men — through the songs of musicals such as
Kinky Boots,
Heathers,
Hamilton and
The Book of Mormon. This lucky third production comes with the added bonus of "Hope," a brand-new song from Jason Robert Brown (composer of
The Last Five Years and
Parade, among many others), which will open the show. Come for some old favorites and get a couple new surprises as well.
Out on Broadway: The Third Coming is performed at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday (August 3 to 19) at the Marcelle Theatre (3310 Samuel Shepard Drive;
