Audiences got a look at Netflix s starry adaptation of The Boys in the Band this week with the release of the films first trailer, viewable above.

Based on Mart Crowleys seminal 1968 stage play, The Boys in the Band follows a group of gay friends living in New York back then. Michael (played by Jim Parsons ) is hosting a birthday party for his pal Harold (Zachary Quinto ) at a swanky Manhattan apartment.

The festivities take a dramatic turn with the arrival of Michaels former flame Donald (Matt Bomer ), who has fled New York in hopes of spurning the homosexual lifestyle, and Michaels straight-laced college roommate, Alan (Brian Hutchison). As the night progresses, each of the men confronts personal demons pertaining to their sexuality and identity.

Produced by Ryan Murphy, Netflixs The Boys in the Band reassembles the full cast of the 2018 Broadway production , also including Robin de Jess, Andrew Rannells and Tuc Watkins. The film is directed by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello.
