Romance can be hysterical, and it doesn’t get much better that point2point production’s presentation of First Date, The Musical, which will be performed at the Elgin Art Showcase on Friday and Saturday, May 31 – June 1, at 7;30pm both nights.
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.
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. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?
Tickets begin at $25 plus a $2 service fee and can be purchased here.
The Elgin Art Showcase is located at 164 Division Street, 8th Floor, in Elgin.
