Always open for suggestions, but It's weird cos the setting in the pandemic and the genuineness of the actors seem to have captured me as I've watched it a few times and have got locked in. It's like reliving the lockdown over and over again. I know it's melodramatic, but maybe that's where I am at this moment in time. I avoid musicals like the plague, and the only one I really liked was Cabaret, because the songs not only related to the situation in the movie but were all done in a nightclub. But hey, I'll give it a go. Thanks(less)

“Older age can be challenging for LGBTQ people when living an independent life becomes more difficult. Having lived in a same-sex relationship for many years there are limited choices about living in a retirement home where some people may feel that they have to supress their sexuality in order to appease others. I hear less these days about this aspect of LGBT life, being forced back into the closet in order to live in close proximity to others, that can cause depression particularly where there may be no close relatives or friends having lived a long life”
