"Irresistible, stirring and vibrant. Urie and Ruehl are two ideally matched performers at the top of their games. Burning with emotion behind the laughs, Torch Song still sears." ~ Ben Brantley, The New York Times

It’s 1979 in New York City and Arnold Beckoff is on a quest for love, purpose and family. He’s fierce in drag and fearless in crisis, and he won’t stop until he achieves the life he desires. Now, Arnold is back…and he’s here to sing you a torch song. The Tony Award®-winning play that forever changed the trajectory of Broadway returns for a new generation.
