Act I: March of the Falsettos In 1979 in New York City, Marvin, his ten-year-old son Jason, his psychiatrist Mendel, and his boyfriend Whizzer are in the midst of an argument (“Four Jews In a Room Bitching”).

In the second installment, March of the Falsettos (1981), Marvin tries to force Whizzer, his wife Trina and his pre-pubescent son Jason, into some kind of hybrid family. But Marvin only gets a temporary Happily Ever After because Whizzer has AIDS and by the end of the show, he has died.

But sadly, Whizzer becomes very sick with the new disease of AIDS. Labeled then as a Gay Cancer, it was something that people had very little information about. So, in the end, Whizzer dies after finally having gotten what he wanted: a real relationship with Marvin.
