The unexpected side effects of her adventure include discovering true love and building the world's first roller disco. The show features hit songs by Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John, including "Magic," "Suddenly," "I Am Alive" and "Xanadu." Learn More

I had presumed that the play would be about a non-gay 12-yearol boy being seduced by a gay adult man. However, it seemed to be more like a gay boy's first experience that included emission.Written on Feb 06 2008

Description
In life we are bombarded with choices: good and evil, right and wrong. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference. Sometimes right isn't all right and wrong isn't all wrong. So, what do you do? That's The Tricky Part. <p>Every once in a while a play comes along with the intelligence to engage your mind and the human warmth to touch your heart and soul. Every once in a long while comes an actor whose performance is so candid and sincere you’re sure he is speaking directly to you.</p> <p>Told by Martin Moran with disarming honesty, The Tricky Part is a riveting journey through the complexities of Catholicism, sexuality and human transgression. It’s an extraordinary theatrical journey you will never forget.</p> <p>Told by Martin Moran with disarming honesty, The Tricky Part is a riveting journey through the complexities of Catholicism, sexuality and human transgression.
