### *Falsettos* musical to transfer to the London theatre stage come August
Two-time Tony Award-winning musical *Falsettos* is to receive both its UK and European premiere at the end of August 2019, it has been announced.
Written amidst the AIDS crisis of the early 1990s by both James Lapine and William Finn, who recently premiered their musical adaptation of [***Little Miss Sunshine***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/3380/little-miss-sunshine-tickets.aspx) at the [**Arcola Theatre**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/305/arcola-theatre.aspx), the show went on to win two Tonys for Best Book and Best Original Score in 1992 when it premiered at Broadway's John Golden Theatre that same year. The show was once known as two separate musicals –* Falsettoland *(Off-Broadway, 1990) and *March of the Falsettos* (Off-Broadway, 1981) – before it was combined to form the award-winning, two-act musical it's known today.
[**The Other Palace**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/155/other-palace.aspx) production of *Falsettos* is produced by **Selladaor Productions**, who are behind such popular shows as [**Dolly Parton's *9 to 5 The Musical***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/3321/9-to-5-the-musical-tickets.aspx), *Avenue* *Q*, *Big Fish*, and *American Idiot*.
