If you'd talked to the cast of Next Fall back in summer 2009, when the ensemble piece about the role of faith in a gay relationship was playing a limited off-Broadway run, everyone involved would have said they were proud of their powerful little show...but very few would have mentioned the "B" word: Broadway.

There are a few things Patrick Heusinger doesn't like to talk about. Religion is one. Politics is another. His personal life also tops the list (though not for the reasons you'd think). Which makes delving into his breakout role as devoutly Christian homosexual Luke in the notably religious, "unintentionally" political and deeply personal new drama Next Fall an ...

Next Fall has had a wild ride since its initial off-Broadway run last summer. After three off-Broadway extensions, news of a Broadway transfer (with the entire cast intact) and the addition of superfan and superproducer Sir Elton John to the show's producing team, this new Broadway play took its Broadway bow on March 11, with Sir Elton and partner ...
