Synopsis:  Marie's Crisis introduces a broader audience to the institution that is Marie's Crisis, New York's storied sing-along (showtunes ONLY!) piano bar.  The film explores this unique, theater-driven New York institution, its meaningfulness to its patrons and staff, and its importance as one of New York’s earliest openly Gay bars - predating even Stonewall.  We also delve into the history of the building, including the site’s Landmark status for being the location where American (and French) Revolutionary figure, Thomas Paine, died, and explore why Marie's Crisis has and continues to be a home for misfits, musical theatre lovers and tourists alike.
