SUMMARY
|
A MUSICAL COMEDY This crowd-pleasing comedy explores the truths and myths of modern relationships. With witty songs and sketches, Act I takes us from awkward dating to hopeful marriage, while Act II dives into life after "I do" - in-laws, babies, road trips, and the golden years of love. Hilarious and heartfelt, this revue is a tribute to anyone who's ever loved, lost, or simply wondered, "What are you doing Saturday night?" |
