FIRST DATE
Imagine you're on a blind date and your opinionated best friend, your therapist and a bevy of broken-hearted exes show up. Throw in a soundtrack to rival the Top 40 and you've got one amazing evening. When Aaron meets Casey, a casual drink turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. Can this couple turn a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?
Book by Austin Winsberg. Music and Lyrics by Alan Zachary & Michael Weiner.
DRIFTPresented in collaboration with acclaimed composer Jeremy Schonfeld, comes a developmental concert featuring the music from this stirring musical.
