Andrew Rannells & Jim Parsons on 'Very Gay' & 'Very Groundbreaking' Boys in the Band

Mart Crowley's 1968 comic drama The Boys in the Band is making its long overdue Broadway debut in a talent-packed 50th-anniversary staging at the Booth Theatre. Two of the show's stars, Andrew Rannells and Jim Parsons, made TV appearances on May 7 to spread the word about the play. "It's very gay," joked Rannells on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, adding a hat-tip to Broadway newbie Matt Bomer, who Rannells admits to joking around with onstage. "He's so pretty," said Rannells. "I gotta give him a hard time about something." In a visit to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Parsons noted that the debut mounting of The Boys in the Band offered a "first kind of insight into what gay life may look like for a lot of people," calling Crowley's play "very, very groundbreaking."
