Uraufführung: 21. Februar 1979
Ort der Uraufführung: Playwrights Horizons (Off-Broadway)

In Trousers ist ein Musical, dessen Buch, Text und Musik von William Finn stammt.

In Trousers, geleitet von William Finn, wurde zweimal uraufgeführt. 1979 am 21. Februar im Off-Broadway Playwrights Horizons für 24 Vorstellungen und noch einmal am 8. Dezember für acht Vorstellungen. Chip Zien, Alison Fraser, Joanna Green und Mary Testa waren in der Besetzung.

Am 26. März 1985 wurde eine signifikant umgeschriebene Version mit zusätzlichen Liedern, einer besser zusammenhängenden Storyline und klarer konturierten Figuren im Promenade Theatre aufgeführt, wo es 16 mal gespielt wurde. Geleitet wurde die Produktion von Matt Casella, es spielten Stephen Bogardus, Catherine Cox, Sherry Hursey und Kathy Garrick mit.

Der Einakter konzentriert sich auf Marvin, der eine (namenlose) Frau und einen Sohn hat. Er kündigt seinen früheren Beziehungen darunter seine Schulliebe, Miss Goldberg, seinen Englischlehrer, der ihn Christoph Kolumbus in einer Schulaufführung spielen lässt, und deckt dann auf, dass er homosexuell ist. Hin und hergerissen von seiner natürlichen Neigung und seinem Wunsch, nicht sein Familienleben, wie er es kennt, zu zerstören, trifft er schließlich die Entscheidung, dass das, was er fühlt, das Beste für ihn ist.
