First Date

Adaptation written by Austin Winsberg
Music and Lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner

February 23 - March 10, 2024 (Fri, Sat 8pm; Sun 2:30pm)

Feb. 23, 2024 -- March 10, 2024 When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. As the date unfolds in real time, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening ... Casey and Aaron's inner critics take on a life of their own when other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents, who sing and dance them through ice-breakers, appetizers and potential conversational land mines.

Presented with special arrangement from Concord Theatricals
