The New York Times called this musical, “infectiously entertaining” and “filled with wit and zest.” Austin, a greeting card writer, is distraught after finding his girlfriend in bed with another man, but his brother Jeff is intent on forcing him back into the perplexing New York dating scene. Marcy has also recently gone through a bad break-up, and after taking advice from her good friend Diana, she searches for the perfect rebound–a man who is wrong for her in every way. In a delightful, musical way the show explores online dating, the ‘rules’ of dating, and relationships in a modern setting as the four eventually learn to love–not in spite of their differences–but because of them! A modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with the genders reversed.
Recommended for ages 16 and up for adult language and sexual references.
