Ken Levine and Karen Ziemba Team Up For the World Premiere of AMERICA'S SEXIEST COUPLE at Cape May Stage
The show will open on July 14, 2022, with a Preview Night on July 13.
"America's Sexiest Couple," the second play of Cape May Stage's 2022 season, will open on July 14, 2022, with a Preview Night on July 13. The laugh-out-loud comedy is the work of Ken Levine, the three-time Emmy Award-winning writer who has been honored for his work on classic comedies such as "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Simpsons," "Cheers," and more. Levine brings his surefire one-liners and eye for comedic plotting to "America's Sexiest Couple," a raucous new play which Cape May Stage is honored to premiere. Of the play, Cape May Stage's Producing Artistic Director Roy Steinberg comments: "Romance and comedy are the main ingredients in Ken Levine's "America's Sexiest Couple" - mixed with some very current issues to create a perfect night of theater."
"America's Sexiest Couple" follows Susan and Craig, a beloved 1990s sitcom duo, who were once hailed as - you guessed it - "America's Sexiest Couple." When a funeral brings them together years later, their reunion stirs up a lifetime of unresolved issues, longings, and regrets. The pains of growing older, the struggle to move on from stardom, and the awkward hilarity of reliving their iconic on-screen kiss force Susan and Craig to confront their shared past. And with rumors of a reboot of their old series in the news, they must determine if they can once again become "America's Sexiest Couple."
Tony Award-winner Karen Ziemba and her real-life husband, actor Bill Tatum, will star in the roles of Susan and Craig, with actor and stand-up comedian Remy Germinario in a supporting role. The show will run Tuesday to Sunday evenings until August 14. Find more information and purchase tickets here.
