A dance musical that explores the juxtaposition of several segments of 1980s life and society in New York: the ball culture world, the rise of the luxury Trump-era universe and the downtown social and literary scene.

'Pose' is acclaimed for its groundbreaking LGBTQ+ representation, especially transgender characters, and its exploration of family, identity, and resilience. The show is lauded for strong performances, particularly by transgender actors, and its vivid depiction of 1980s New York ballroom culture. Critics appreciate its emotional depth, character development, and addressing social issues like AIDS and discrimination. However, some note inconsistencies in storytelling and acting quality across seasons.
