Some of the first gay marriages in New York could very well be it a of a show. Quite literally they will be a jolly sparkly theatrical event.
The Broadway theatre where the musical "Hair" is being performed this summer will also be the stage where some same-sex couples will be married on July 25.
Rory O'Malley, co-founder of the gay-rights group Broadway Impact, told reporters several gay couples from the Broadway community will be married on stage right after that evening's performance of "Hair." "It's not just a summer of love," he said at a press conference Wednesday in front of the St. James Theatre, where the touring revival of the hippie musical has landed. "It's a summer of equality."
Other theatre celebrities on hand for the announcement included Joel Grey from "Anything Goes," the cast of "Hair" and Will Swenson from "Priscilla Queen of the Desert, the Musical."
