Torch Song, an off- Broadway production, follows Arnold in three important stages of his life as a gay man living in the the late ‘70s and ‘80s. We follow Arnold as he travels from his time as a drag queen to his quest to settle down, to raising a teenager on his own. Although there was no direct mention of the queer club scene and AIDS crisis, these events are assumed to serve as important backgrounds for the various stages in Arnold’s life.
We were fortunate enough to see the New York revival of “Torch Song” since the original production closed on Broadway in 1985.
