A fast-paced musical comedy that takes audiences through the unpredictable and often hilarious world of blind dating.
When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, their first meeting at a bustling New York City restaurant seems doomed from the start. What begins as a casual drink quickly spirals into a hilarious, high-stakes dinner. As their date unfolds in real time, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening. In a delightful and unexpected twist, 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. With social media looming and a well-meaning but intrusive waiter nudging them along, Aaron and Casey navigate the possibility of a real connection. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?
