Paul and Eddie have just begun previews for the new Off-Broadway musical “Adam and Steve: Just the Way God Made ‘Em.” Their lives strangely mirror the characters they are playing. Paul is looking for the perfect man and Eddie is dealing with how his sexuality and faith can mix.After yet another disastrous dating experience, Paul decides he’s done with dating and just wants to be a slut like the sexy chorus boys that share his dressing room. In the meantime, Eddie has to tell his parents that he’s gay and is starring in a show that calls the bible the “Breeder’s Informational Book of Living Examples”…
Musical numbers, tap dancing angels, a retelling of Genesis, tele-evangelists…The Big Gay Musical is a smart, funny and thoroughly entertaining film about realising that life gets better once you accept who you really are.
I loved the sentiments expressed but found the treatment a bit trite. Sweet all the same and great that it was it’s Irish premier.
