When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a 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. In an 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. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before dessert?
From the creative team behind JGRTC’s recent productions of Shrek, Chicago and Ghost, this laugh-out-loud comedy musical sees a cast of just seven seasoned performers, accompanied by an amazing band of musicians, bring over 30 outrageous characters to life in the perfect antidote to Valentine’s week: come for Date Night with your sweetheart (if you dare), or ditch the other half and come with your mates – either way, you’ll leave laughing!
