SpeakEasy Stage presents Once on This Island

Posted on March 13, 2022 | 2 comments

Sergio and I will be attending the matinee showing of the SpeakEasy Stage latest production, Once on This Island. The musical won a Tonay Award in 2018 for Best Revival of a Musical. Candidly, I don’t know much about the production or the history of this musical but the story centers on Ti Moune, a peasant girl’s determination to follow her heart and the remarkable journey that takes her on to find her place in the world.

In recent years, many local Boston theater companies have produced a number of excellent musicals SpeakEasy Stage’s Choir Boy from 2019 was a personal favorite so I’m looking forward to seeing this production, which runs through April 16th. Tickets to see this show at the Calderwood Pavillion in the South End start at $25.00.

It has been too long since I last featured a photo of Lex Abramov. Here is a throwback to a previous Scruffy Sunday post in 2019 with Lex and his handsome boyfriend, Brett Andrew Miles in bed together.

riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday, I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

Leave your answer in the comment section. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

This week’s brain teaser:  Despite the fact that I shave everyday, my beard remains the same. Why is that?

Vintage gay

Posted on March 10, 2022 | 1 comment

I have no idea what is going on in this photo. I assume the photo dates back to the 1950s based on the pegged pants on the guy at the bottom of the photo and hairstyles, but I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks to @oldmasc for the photo.

I’ve posted the undoctored version of this photo this morning on my Twitter account, @BosGuy (and no you don’t need to have Twitter to see someone’s posts).

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Scruffy Sunday

Posted on March 6, 2022 | 2 comments

Felix and Ferdinand are a flirtatious couple who have been together for more than 15 years. They post frequently on Instagram. This is their account photo, which I think makes for an ideal Scruffy Sunday post. If you have an Instagram account, say hello and follow them at, @felixandferdinand.
