Following In Trousers and March of the Falsettos, it is the third in a trio of one-act musicals centering on Marvin, his wife Trina, his psychiatrist Mendel, his son Jason, and his gay lover Whizzer Brown. In this act, Jason is preparing for his bar mitzvah, while Whizzer is suffering from a life-threatening yet undefined illness, which the audience recognizes is AIDS. It forms the second act of the 1992 Broadway musical Falsettos, with March of the Falsettos as the first act.
