SONDHEIM'S FINAL MUSICAL GETS ITS CAST AND DATE

The late, great Stephen Sondheim's final musical, “Here We Are,” has set an offBroadway launch date: Sept. 28. Its director is Tony Award winner for both “Take Me Out” and “Assassins,” Joe Mantello, and the book by David Ives (“The Metromaniacs”) is based on legendary filmmaker Luis Buñuel' s “The Discreet

Charm of the Bourgeoisie” and “The Exterminating Angel,” two stories of middle-class people having a collection of increasingly surreal dining troubles. And to do justice to the Sondheim legacy, the cast of theater pros is a roster of Tony, Obie and Drama Desk award nominees and winners:

Bobby Cannavale (“The Motherfucker with the Hat”), David Hyde Pierce (“Hello, Dolly!”), Denis O'Hare (“Take Me Out”), Jin Ha (“Hamilton”), Rachel Bay Jones (“Dear Evan Hansen”), Tracie Bennett (“End of the Rainbow”), Francois Battiste (“Epiphany”), Micaela Diamond (“Parade”), Amber Gray (“Hadestown”), Steven Pasquale (“Guys & Dolls”) and Jeremy Shamos (“Clybourne Park”). Get yourself to New York for this historical moment, and don't go to the theater hungry.

IN 'PERPETRATOR,' HIGH SCHOOL IS A HORROR SHOW High school is often a terrifying experience, and writer-director Jennifer Reeder delivers real horror with her upcoming adolescent nightmare, “Perpetrator.” Kiah McKirnan (“Mare of Easttown") stars as Jonny, a rebellious teenager

sent to live with her aunt (Alicia Silverstone) while attending a rich-kid private school. Cue the monster-inthe-making vibes as a secret family spell begins to change Jonny in darkly funny, escalating, and frightening ways. And then her classmates begin to go missing. Not to get too “Heathers” about it but it seems like someone's teen angst involves a body count in this pitch black (and gory red) coming-of-age horror film. “Perpetrator” already made the rounds of horror and genre festivals, and now you 'll get to experience it at home in September when it drops on Shudder.

'ROTTING IN THE SUN' GOES ALL THE WAY THERE.

The dark aesthetic of Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Silva has won him a devoted arthouse audience with films like “The Maid” and the Kristen Wiigstarring comedy “Nasty

Baby.” Now he's teamed with comic-writer-actor Jordan Firstman for his next film, “Rotting in The Sun,” and you probably haven't seen anything quite like it in a while. Firstman is known for

his work on “Search Party” and for his viral videos that have been known to sharply divide audiences, and in this dark comedy about class, privilege and self-hating gay men, Firstman plays a version of himself — as does Silva — while trying to work his connections to the filmmaker to get a TV series off the ground. Costarring Catalina Saavedra (“The Maid,” “Los Espookys”), the heavymeta movie is already notorious on the film festival circuit for its unsimulated sex scenes and copious male frontal nudity. In fact, it's already leaned into its reputation as “the one with all the dicks in it” and audiences ready for that level of naked comedy are encouraged to hit the arthouse in September when it opens on big screens, right before it streams on Mubi later in the month.

CHECK OUT THE HISTORYMAKING NUDES OF GEORGE PLATT LYNES

In the 1930s and 40s,

photographer George Platt Lynes was one of the first people to become known for his commercial and editorial work with celebrities. His photos of the famous made him famous, too. But at the same time, his more private work involved a celebration of the male nude, and that work was not only erotic, taboo-breaking, and illegal to show in public, but aesthetically forward, very much ahead of its time. Now, in the documentary “Hidden Master: The Legacy of George Platt Lynes,” filmmaker Sam Shahid — who previously worked as an art director on the Bruce Weber documentaries “Let's Get Lost” and “Broken Noses” — showcases this rich body of work from a pioneering gay artist, while also exploring the photographer's connections to Gertrude Stein, Alfred Kinsey, and others. This vital historical work is currently moving around film festivals, so be on the lookout for it to screen or stream near you.

National Institute of Health Selects Out

Lawrence A. Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., acting director for the National Institutes of Health, has named Jeanne M. Marrazzo, M.D., as director of NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Dr. Marrazzo, the first member of the LGBT community to hold the position, is currently the director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She is expected to begin her role as NIAID Director in the fall. NIAID conducts and supports basic and applied research to better understand, treat and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic and allergic diseases.

“Dr. Marrazzo brings a wealth of leadership experience from leading international clinical trials and translational research, managing a complex organizational budget that includes research funding and mentoring trainees in all stages of professional development,” said Dr. Tabak. “I look forward to welcoming Dr. Marrazzo to the NIH leadership team. I also want to extend my gratitude to Hugh Auchincloss, Jr., M.D., for serving as acting director of NIAID after long-time director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., stepped down in December 2022.”

Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo to fill Dr. Fauci’s position as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

As NIAID director, Dr. Marrazzo will oversee NIAID's budget of $6.3 billion, which supports research to advance the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of infectious, immunologic and allergic diseases.

Dr. Marrazzo is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and is board certified in infectious disease. She earned her bachelor's in biology from Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; her M.D. from Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia; and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from the University of Washington, Seattle. Dr. Marrazzo also has chaired the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Council, and the ABIM Infectious Disease Specialty Board.

Dr. Marrazzo's research in discovery and implementation science has focused on the human microbiome, specifically as it relates to female reproductive tract infections and hormonal contraception; prevention of HIV infection using biomedical interventions, including PrEP and microbicides; and the pathogenesis and management of bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted diseases in HIVinfected persons and management of antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea. She has been a principal investigator on NIH grants continuously since 1997 and has served frequently as a peer reviewer and advisory committee member. Dr. Marrazzo also has served as a mentor to trainees at all stages of professional development, including on NIH-funded training grants, and was the recipient of the American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association's Distinguished Career Award, the highest recognition of contributions to research and mentoring in the field.

NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases. More information at nih.gov.

Just How Gay is “Barbie”? It Depends Who You Ask. The Hit Movie is at Least Queer Enough to Piss Off Conservatives

Let's face it: “Barbie” was going to be gay. Maybe not gay enough, according to some gays. Maybe too gay, according to anti-gays.

The fact is, this is a movie about Barbie, and wherever Barbie goes, some inherent queerness will go, too. As a kid, I remember wanting to be Barbie's best gay friend — I imagined we'd have some pretty fun sleepovers in her Dreamhouse. I also imagined some pretty fun sleepovers with Ken.

So now that “Barbie” is a splashy, pinksoaked blockbuster, director Greta Gerwig serves up a feminist fantasia in which a diverse group of Barbies, including several played by LGBTQ+ actors, reclaim their world from their Ken-ruling counterparts. As a gay boy led into gay adulthood by strong women, I am on board with all that girl power in Gerwig's “Barbie.”

I also appreciate that the film, starring Margot Robbie as the leading Barbie and Ryan Gosling as the leading Ken, is full of queer subtext that has sent right-wingers into an anti-queer meltdown because, god forbid, dolls should be for everyone. Fox News reported that a Christian news site

“warns” that the film '“forgets core audience' in favor of trans agenda and gender themes.”

Let them have their bigoted feelings while the rest of us admire “Barbie” for what it is: a coming-of-age film that lets underdogs come out on top. Here are five of the queerest things to love about “Barbie.”

1. LGBTQ+ actors play the dolls

Queer actors are among those portraying the Barbies and Kens in Gerwig's Barbie Land. I'd say that's remarkable, but that kind of casting, where queer people are just in the mix of onscreen talent, should be the norm in all films. In “Barbie,” it is, however, especially meaningful seeing the iconic but historically heteronormative dolls portrayed by openly queer actors (to be fair, no characters are straight or gay since dolls, according to Robbie, don't have sexual orientation because they all just have plastic nubs down there). Scott Evans, who is Chris Evans' gay brother, is a Ken, while queer “Love, Simon” actress Alexandra Shipp plays a Barbie. Trans actor Hari Nef also plays a Barbie, and Kate McKinnon is “Weird Barbie,” who emanates some real lesbian vibes (McKinnon herself is openly lesbian) particularly when she offers Robbie's Barbie some more practical, everyday footwear — those being Birkenstocks.

2. Ken's queer energy

It would be a shame to feature Ken as prominently as this film does without at least winking at the queer boys, such as myself, who loved him. Thankfully, this fact is realized in Gerwig's “Barbie,” which suggests that Ken is both an object of desire for men, including other Kens, and that he may even be chasing Barbie for reasons that aren't exactly amorous in nature. Maybe Ken needs Barbie like Jack needs Karen? The Kens in this movie, after all, are confused about who they should be, spending so much time proving their masculinity because they are convinced that is how they should act. That societal pressure alone is a familiar stress to any gay man, but “Barbie” does loosely put Ken somewhere on the spectrum of queerness,

whether that be a quick cameo from Magic Earring Ken, modeled on gay fashion and also known as “Cock Ring Ken,” or by showing Evans riding a horse stick in a way that doesn't exactly register as totally straight. Meanwhile, Gosling's Ken gets kissed on the cheek by two other Kens, including Evans, during a homoerotic ballet sequence that includes the lyric “put that manly hand in mine.” He does not seem to mind.

3. Gender-neutral bathrooms

One of the most obvious displays of queer inclusivity in “Barbie” involves just a few words spoken by Will Ferrell: “genderneutral bathrooms.” I nearly applauded

when Ferrell, beloved for potty-humor comedies that surely attracts those who have issues with transgender people using whatever bathroom they want, was running down the list of what you'd find at the Mattel headquarters. At Mattel, people pick whatever bathroom best suits them.

For one of the biggest films of the year to be given the stamp of approval from a giant corporation that makes products for children, some of the same kids these antitrans bathroom bills affect, that's a small victory.

4.

The Indigo Girls

When I first saw the trailer for “Barbie,” I couldn't help but feel a sense of vindication for the Indigo Girls, whose work is often referred to in mainstream culture as “lesbian music” for the mere fact that duo Emily Saliers and Amy Ray are lesbians. Suddenly, here was Barbie, a beloved commercial figure, flipping the script on that stereotypical notion, driving her pink Corvette and belting out “Closer to Fine” as she leaves Barbie Land for the real world. “You don't imagine a folk lesbian duo to be in this hot-pink Barbie movie,” Tig Notaro told Trish Bendix at The New York Times. “Kind of just selfishly and personally, I feel like, 'Yeah, we were onto something all these years,' you know? It's validating. Obviously, it's been a huge hit forever, but this is so next level.” Perhaps as a way to emphasize this union of commercial and queer culture, openly gay Grammy winner Brandi Carlie and her wife Catherine cover the song on the soundtrack's expanded edition.

5. Allan

Always an Allan, never a Ken. If Ken was the object of so many queer boys' affection, Allan was the doll many of us could relate to — when we weren't daydreaming about being Barbie, that is. Allan, portrayed by Michael Cera, is the doll version of me at 13 years old, avoiding all the Kens at the bus stop while I exclusively shuffled between women artists on my Walkman. In “Barbie,” Cera's Allan, who wears a crocheted buttondown with colors that resemble a rainbow and whose body isn't tan and chiseled like the Kens, is right at home with the Barbies himself, not so much the Kens and all of their abs and swaggering machismo. For those reasons alone, Allan is the outsider in all of us.
