Love Actually? The Unauthorized Musical Parody is a hilarious new musical follows nine quirky, questionable couples looking for love across the pond, and even 16 years after the movie premiere, we still ask ourselves these questions every Christmas - Is love... Falling for your secretary when you are Prime Minster? Falling for your secretary when you are married to Emma Thompson? Falling for the maid after your wife cheats on you? Falling for your best friend's wife and showing up with poster boards? Whether you love Love Actually or love to hate Love Actually or have never seen Love Actually, you will actually love this musical! Get ready for awkward meet cutes, over-the-top grand gestures, and lots and lots of love, actually.

Written by Bob and Tobly McSmith, Love Actually? The Unauthorized Musical Parody features music and orchestration by Basil Winterbottom. The 2019 smash hit world premiere of Love Actually? The Unauthorized Musical Parody was directed by Tim Drucker and choreographed by Brooke Engen.
