Trick! The Musical is a musical with a book and lyrics by Jason Schafer and music by Arthur LaFrentz Bacon. It is based on the 1999 film by Jim Fall, which was also written by Schafer. The musical focuses on two young gay men in New York City, Gabriel, an aspiring musical writer, and Mark, a personal trainer and former go-go boy, who meet and attempt to hook up, only to have every attempt foiled across the city, through a combination of their wacky friends and acquaintances, enemies, and their own neuroses and sordid pasts.
Directed by Paul Conroy and choreographed by Jonathan Bryant, the original production of Trick! The Musical premiered in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Out Front Theater Company in 2025. The show received positive reviews from critics, with a planned run until May 17, 2025.
