“The more things change, the more they remain the same.” That is what kept running through my mind while watching “The Temperamentals” at New World Stages on Thursday, February 25. A hit last season at The Barrow Group Theatre, the show has moved to the New World Stages with original cast members: Michael Urie (“Ugly Betty”), Thomas Jay Ryan (“In The Next Room), Matt Schneck (“London Assurance”), and Sam Breslin Wright (“Macbeth”). Arnie Burton from Broadway’s “The 39 Steps” has joined the cast. The show tells the story of The Mattachine Society, the first group of gays who came together to fight for equal rights during the 1950s. This show takes you on a journey of firsts and while these victories may seem small in today’s world, they were giant ones back then. This group ignited the spark to stand-up for our freedom and many other groups have followed, but we still have much to fight for and that is why it’s important to have a show like “The Temperamentals.” We need to show the youth of today where we came from so they know what & why we are still fighting. For a piece of history that is still modern, I would suggest checking out “The Temperamentals” at New World Stages in New York CIty (50th Street between 8th & 9th Avenue).
