The Gay Beach Musical. DESCRIPTION:A rarely produced 1970s queer musical comedy set at Coney Isl and on Gay Liberation Day. Buffalo United Artists’\\; production is both a revival and an act of theatrical preservation.\\nSet on the beach at Coney Island on Gay Liberation Day &\\; June 28th\\, the anniversar y of the Stonewall Riots. Our story follows a closeted lifeguard whose li fe is saved by five unabashedly eccentric characters: his soon-to be love r\\, a wacky orthodox priest\\, a ditzy journalist\\, a hunky constructio n worker\\, and a show queen from Shirley’\\;s Temple on Flatbush Av enue.\\nTheir drives\\, dreams\\, pasts and futures collide in a riot of coincidences\\, filled with music\\, romance and off-the-wall humor.\\nBu ffalo United Artists production of Gulp! The Gay Beach Musical is more than a revival\\, it is an act of preservation. As one of the earliest ex amples of queer musicals in the history of the American musical\\, Gulp!  predates landmark works such as La Cage aux Folles\\, Rent\\, and Fu n Home\\, yet it has remained largely forgotten.\\nWith no commercial cas t recording and decades since its last full production\\, this groundbrea king work has been at risk of disappearing from our theatrical legacy. Ou r production team has worked to restore the musical as faithfully as poss ible\\, while introducing it to a new generation of audiences. By honorin g its creators and preserving their artistic vision\\, we hope to secure  Gulp! its rightful place in the canon of influential queer musicals and ensure that its story continues to live far beyond Buffalo.\\nhttps://ww w.gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/buffalo/events/gulp-the-gay-beach-m usical--2026-09-11 LOCATION:visitbuffalo.com URL:https://www.gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/buffalo/events/gulp-the-gay-beach-musical--2026-09-11 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
