TRY TO REMEMBER YOUR FIRST LOVE


In this, the longest running show in the history of American theatre, two young people, Matt and Luisa, live next door to each other and fall in love. However, their fathers, Mr. Huckabee and Mr. Bellomy, are feuding and order them not to speak to one another. This “feud” is merely a way to manipulate the couple, so they do fall in love. The fathers then conceive a plan where Luisa is kidnapped by a professional abductor, El Gallo, so Matt can rescue her and appear heroic. With music by Harvey Schmidt and book and lyrics by Tom Jones, the musical has memorable numbers, including “Try to Remember,” “The Plum is Too Ripe,” and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain.”
