After successful shows in Nashville, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago and DC, 'When Boys Exhale' comes to LA. This original, stage play is a tribute to 'Waiting to Exhale' and has been making audiences EXHALE since 2020. You don't want to miss this hilarious and thought-provoking celebration of black queer friendship .


Synopsis

Jonathan and Andre are best friends who have loved 'Waiting to Exhale' since they were kids. Now as black gay men, their appreciation for Terry McMillan’s classic deepens as their adult lives seem to mirror the situations of the women in the film they love so much. Just like Robin, Gloria, Bernadine, and Savannah, will they both learn to let go of everything holding them back or will they continue waiting to exhale?
