Note: A correspondent contacted me about one of the entertainment industry tv magazines that reported on this show. The report included a brief clip of a "future episode" (air date uncertain) in which Ross (Michael Anderson) will tell Claudia that he is gay.

I've never seen this show, and I don't recall any specifically gay content in part 1, but I'm listing it FYI because this musical series is wildly popular with gay audiences, and because the various casts have donated many performances for gay and AIDS-related fund raising.
