Connecticut Gay Men's Chorus: Gays in Space Tickets

The Connecticut Gay Men's Chorus (CGMC) has been a cornerstone of Connecticut’s LGBTQ+ arts community since its founding in 1986 in New Haven. From its beginnings as one of the first openly gay men’s choruses in the state, CGMC has grown into a versatile ensemble that traverses Broadway-style show tunes, classical choral literature, jazz, and popular tunes. Known for fully staged revues that blend humor with heartfelt music, CGMC has long balanced concert performances with community outreach, including the Bingomania fundraiser series. Their signature programming blends top-tier vocal artistry with engaging storytelling, making every show a memorable experience.

Under the artistic direction of Greg McMahan, CGMC continues to build connections across New Haven and the wider Connecticut arts scene, celebrating diverse voices and delivering performances that resonate with both traditional choral fans and new audiences. The chorus typically presents two annual shows in New Haven—one in December and a spring performance in May—and actively participates in regional cultural events, festivals, and collaborations.

Exploring their discography reveals a history of bold artistic choices. The highlight is the 1999 Out! (Original Cast Recording), produced by Winston Clark & Peter Winkler, featuring tracks like Gay Heaven. That release helped establish CGMC’s presence beyond live performances and contributed to their reputation for musical versatility and adventurous programming. The chorus also earned recognition with a GLAMA nomination in 1998 for I Have Something to Tell You (from Out!), in the Cast Recording category.

For fans and new listeners alike, CGMC’s 2025 touring slate brings Gays in Space to multiple venues in December 2025. The tour includes The Kate in Old Saybrook, SHU Community Theatre in Fairfield, and Downtown Cabaret in Bridgeport, with additional Old Saybrook dates announced. This touring footprint showcases CGMC’s ability to bring their distinctive blend of humor, storytelling, and musical prowess to venues across the region.
