During this year's annual Tony awards recognizing Broadway theater, Whoopi Goldberg took to the stage to announce that the musical revival of “Falsettos” would be hitting movie theatersnationwide starting July 12.
Now it's time for the filmed version of the musical, which played at Lincoln Center Theater in New York, to hit the big screen.
