Darren R. Cohen will provide musical direction. Musical Theatre Lab and Natasha Sinha will produce the cabaret.

"Having just celebrated five years of our acclaimed Musical Theatre Lab, working with over 60 writers, composers, and lyricists, we (Bill Finn and I) asked them to write a song about love and its various vicissitudes," Boyd said in a statement. "We're thrilled to present these new songs as the Musical Theatre Lab writers share their version of the perfect Valentine's Day song: funny, serious, loving, not-so-loving and outrageous!"

Performances will take place Feb. 11-12 at 8 PM and Feb. 13 at 3 PM.
