Reel Affirmations: The Nation's LGBT Film Festival 2009

Casper Andreas (4 Letter Word, Between Love and Good-bye) is back with his best film ever! Set in the bawdy world of New York theater, Big Gay Musical features a who’s who of the scene — including cameos by Michael Musto and a laugh-out-loud stint by Steve Hayes (Trick) as God. In the film. Paul and Eddie have just begun previews for the new off-Broadway musical Adam & 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 has an epiphany: Forget the nice boy routine; he wants to slut it up like the sexy boys in the chorus! Eddie, meanwhile, begins to panic when his uber-religious parents announce they’ll be in town for the play’s opening night. How to explain to the folks that not only is he playing gay, but is really gay and starring in a play that calls the Bible the "Breeder’s Informational Book of Living Examples." Neither boy has much luck in their endeavors — Eddie’s parents are destroyed by the news and Paul can’t even have a good one-night stand. But after musical numbers with scantly clad tap-dancing angels, a retelling of Genesis, tele-evangelists, a camp that attempts to turn gay kids straight and a bunch of show tunes, everyone realizes that life gets better once they accept who they really are: just the way God made ‘em!
