Authentic and Affirming I rented the Big Gay Musical based on its high reviews. Teen, am I content that I did! From the looks of the cover or poster, the film seemed superficial to me. Shirtless men in wings? However, I believed that the feature started strong and triumphantly finished with relevant and positive messages for everyone, especially those who struggle with their own or someone else's sexuality. Differing views of online dating were expressed. HIV/AIDS was also highlighted in the movie. I felt that some of the music was hokey but that consideration did not terminate me from having purchased the soundtrack. The song, As I Am, stood out from the rest of the selections for me. It made me cry!

The Rectangular View
The Big Gay Musical is about two lead actors in the Off-Broadway gay musical, Adam and Steve: Just the Way God Made ‘Em. The film has two stories, one on stage and the other off. Sadly, neither is very interesting.
The film is about the two leads, Paul (Daniel Robinson) and Eddie (Joey Dudding). Paul thinks he’s in a loving relationship until his partner suddenly ghosts him after hearing a rumor that Paul had AIDS. Paul gets tested to prove that the rumor is false, but his now ex-boyfriend still won’t return his calls. Distraught and hurt, Paul starts dating again, but finds that men only want sex, so he decides he’s going to do the same.
Eddie is a virgin who is not out to his deeply religious parents. The cast discovers that he’s never had sex and takes him out, where Eddie gets drunk and goes house with a stranger. The guy convinces Eddie to have unprotected sex. Since Eddie thinks they’re going to be boyfriends, he goes along.
While all this is going on, we gain snippets of the musical, which has some snappy numbers and dance routines. The play is about how God made Adam and Eve, then had to banish them

“The Big Gay Musical”: A Big Gay Thrill!
In “The Big Gay Musical”, the film’s creators Casper Andreas (“Between Love & Goodbye”, “A Four Letter Word”) and Fred M. Caruso indulge gay men’s love of showtunes and camp in a enormous way… but you may have guessed that by the film’s title already! Alongside the fun stuff, however, Andreas and Caruso also make a expression about some very real issues facing gay guys in 2009– Manhunt, HIV testing, internet sex hookups versus “traditional dating”, and more. The outcome is a movie that’s not only high-spirited and funny, but also provocative and, at times, (dare I say?!) very sweet.
When “The Big Gay Musical” starts, we meet our two leads, Paul (Daniel Robinson) and Eddie (Joey Dudding). They are actors in a fresh musical comedy called “Adam and Steve: Just The Way God Made ‘Em!”– and it’s the real story about what happened in the Garden of Eden. “Adam and Steve” mirthfully explores the origins of homophobia,
Review for The Big Gay Musical
Casper Andreas and Fred M. Caruso have produced an entertaining movie. Regardless of your sexual orientation, The Large Gay Musicalwill tickle your rib bones and have you rolling around the floor in hysterics. The story revolves around the Off-Broadway show 'Adam and Steve'. The marvelous thing about this: it subverts the whole Genesis syndrome by joining two homosexual men together (via the magic of God). These 'lovers' confront televangelists, tap-dancing angels and a camp that attempts to spin 'gays' straight. There is also an external story that ties the musical together. Paul (who plays Adam) and Eddie (who plays Steve) end up experiencing the matching things as their on-stage counterparts and use the present to empower themselves. It is a genuinely funny subversion on par with a classic South Parkepisode. It also contains unpretentious moral messages - sex without love is meaningless, look after your friends, contain values and be happy. The movie is also about identity, knowing who you are and not trying to be anybody alternative other than yourself (what other letter would God provide us?). The musical numbers are a breath of fresh air - th
