While there are admirable elements in the Broadway revival of "The Boys in The Band," the acting and the play itself are uneven in quality. Joe Mantello's direction effectively mines the play's humor in the play's first half, but the pacing and pathos in the second half feel off-kilter and unconvincing. The fault here lies in the play itself, not the direction. Still, as a historical theatrical artifact, I am glad I saw this production notwithstanding the reality that the resonance of the play has not aged well.
