It's 1986 and BJ Rosenthal swears that everything is fine. He's living his best life in New York City and he knows absolutely no one with AIDS—perhaps because he's keeping the entire gay community at arm's length. But when a chance encounter with an ex-lover brings him face to face with the epidemic, BJ realizes he can only run so far. Memories of men from bygone days are everywhere, and he can no longer ignore the sealed jar of phone numbers beneath his bed. Can he learn how to face his fears and reconnect before he loses his friends, his happiness, and his mind? Inspired by David B. Feinberg's best-selling novel, EIGHTY-SIXED is a new musical about a man confronting his past before his present disappears.
