First Date: The Musical at Avalon Theatre, Homecoming Centre

A romantic musical comedy about a blind date that goes wonderfully, awkwardly and hilariously off the rails, following a cautious, relationship-minded guy who meets a fearless serial dater. Set in a bustling New York City restaurant, the show turns a simple dinner for Aaron and Casey into a whirlwind of comedy, romance and heart as friends, family, exes and inner critics burst into song and dance. The South African premiere is presented by Origen Productions, directed by Byron Bure, with a cast including Emma Amber, Ethan Saunders, William Young, Kirsten Pienaar, Asanda Mngadi and Zoë Chetty.
