Book by Jeremy J. King Music and Lyrics by Sam Salmond Based on the novel by David B. Feinberg Directed by Kevin Newbury Choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly About the show: New York City used to be a party town, but 1986 finds everyone paralyzed with fear of AIDS. Everyone, that is, except BJ Rosenthal, who’s determined to keep the party going. When an ex-lover becomes ill, BJ is forced to face the nightmare enveloping him and redefine his life.
