BEAU by Lyons & Pakchar arrived at Joe’s Pub in New York
In Beau, seven actor-musicians tell the story of Ace Baker, who’s fatherless until age 12, when a phone call reveals his grandfather Beauhas been alive all his life — and his mother knew. Family secrets unravel as Ace rushes to make up for lost time with a man who changes his life, by putting a guitar in his hand. Their original folk-funk score is a multi-generational investigation and celebration on what it is to be queer, and come out victorious.
