Photo Coverage: Romance/Romance Opens at Paper Mill

Matt Bogart and Jessica Bogart star in the Paper Mill Playhouse's production of the musical Romance/Romance, running from February 28th through April 1st.  The show opened March 4th.

Matt Bogart (Aida, The Civil War, Miss Saigon) and Jessica Bogart (In My Life, Oklahoma!, Rent), who are married in real life, are joined by Danette Holden (Anything Goes) and Mark Ledbetter (On the Twentieth Century Actors' Fund concert).  Mark S. Hoebee directs.

"This Tony-nominated tuner by Barry Harman and Keith Herrmann pairs two distinctive one-acts to create an entertaining musical that explores the highs and lows of love. The show begins in turn-of the century Vienna with The Little Comedy, based on the short story by Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler. Bored and cynical, two of society's elite set out in search of meaningful relationships by posing as paupers. When their charade is revealed, they discover what they were looking for was right in front them the whole time. The second act, Summer Share, is an updated take on Jules Renard's play Pain de Menage. Summering in the Hamptons, two best friends contemplate marriage and monogamy, promising fidelity to their spouses even as they consider an affair with each other," state Paper Mill notes.
