Synopsis:
Likened by the press to Stephen Sondheim's Company and William Finn's March of the Falsettos, In Briefs is a bitter-sweet musical comedy taking an intricate look into the lives of five gay characters struggling with very modern issues. the musical captures the vagaries of gay life with verve and sensitivity.
