Although I can find NO record on this online anywhere, a reading of THE MEN FROM THE BOYS was done in NYC during the run of the revival of THE BOYS IN THE BAND that featured David Drake, James Lecesne, and David Greenspan in the cast, in 1996 at the WPA Theatre. I saw the reading, and I wish I could remember more details of it, but I really don't.

Fascinating. This would have been, of course, six years before the play received its "world premiere." Not that this kind of thing doesn't happen--a lot--today, but I wonder what took so long for this sequel to such a famous play to be performed on any stage, let alone one in NY. What I saw last night was certainly far from terrible. Maybe it needed the severe cutting it appears to have gotten.(Although this probably caused some problems itself.)Maybe Crowley himself was just not satisfied, although I could swear I saw some interview in which he bemoaned the later play not being produced.
