What Is the Story of First Date?
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, as other restaurant patrons transform into supportive friends, manipulative exes, and protective parents who sing and dance their way through the evening’s unfolding drama. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something truly special before the check arrives?
First Date: The Musical performs June 6th – 22nd.
