Day 13 Date of a Lifetime

How to get a date with Date of a Lifetime

By Carl Kissin

Book and Lyrics

I've seen it happen all too many times before - you try to play it a little too cool. You think, "I'll wait until the last minute to get tickets, that way I won't seem needy." You think, sure I want to be in the same room with Farah Alvin, (Broadway's Nine, The Look of Love and last year's Talkin' Broadway pick for Best NYMF Actress in The Tenth Floor), but I don't want her to know that... and then... sold out. No tickets.

You try everything to undo your bad move - you call a guy who knows a guy who was once saw Carl Kissin (book & lyrics), perform when he was doing one of his 4000 shows during a 13-year run with the famed improv troupe Chicago City Limits, and you ask the guy if he can talk to Carl and ask him to sneak you in the theater. He can't.

Now you become a lonely and theatrically out-of-the loop individual. The male lead, Jamie LaVerdiere (Broadway's The Producers), won't return your phone calls, the director Jeremy Dobrish (Signs of Life, Judas and Me), won't let you do lunch with him, the choreographer Wendy Seyb (Toxic Avenger), refuses to dance with you, and Ken Davenport (producer of Altar Boyz, Godspell), who presented the first reading of the show, mocks you in his popular blog.

If only you had gotten a ticket to Date of a Lifetime, you think. If only you had trusted that going to see a musical with humor and humanity would lead to happiness. If only you had gone to see the show about a speed date that spans two lifetimes in a matter of minutes, you wouldn't be refilling your prescription for anti-depressants.

Never wait on a great date. Order your tickets now. And if you show up alone, we will be your very attentive and loving company.
