A Transparent Musical

Mark Taper Forum
135 North Grand Ave. Los Angeles

From the very first note, this genre-bending new musical comedy follows a trail of family secrets to unearth a story of self-discovery, acceptance, and celebration. A Transparent Musical is the uplifting comic story of the Pfefferman family, whose patriarch is finally allowing their true selves to emerge as Maura, the transgender matriarch she always knew she was. Maura's ex-wife is left questioning a lifetime of partnership, her oldest daughter unravels her own perfect life, her son runs the other way, and her youngest child begins to discover who they really are. Based on the hit Amazon Prime original TV show by Joey Soloway, A Transparent Musical is the ground-breaking new musical that shines a light on a Los Angeles Jewish family who are universally relatable, imperfectly human, and startlingly familiar.

"...Center Theatre Group celebrates diversity just in time for Pride Month with A Transparent Musical, an exhilarating but overlong adaptation of the hit TV series Transparent."

"...Though the writing may need another pass or two, A Transparent Musical offers a reminder of why queer and trans theater is so important, especially in an era of political unrest that threatens to erase it from the map. During opening weekend, members of the alphabet mafia were invited to a special Pride Night celebration where an all-LGBTQIA+ audience had the chance to scream and cheer for their community. The queer joy was palpable, as was the gratitude for this story's very existence. May this June and ever after, have our theaters fill their stages with "a loud, proud celebration of deviance.""

"...Perhaps that way, this promising fresh version of Transparent could slash at least a third of their eventually too long two-hour and 40-minute run time and maybe those smothering side stories, dealing with divorces and sex addictions and finding long-lost family members, might one day become A Transparent Musical 2. And since Faith Soloway has too many great songs to lose, the sequel could already have its own score."
