First Date
Longacre Theatre

What's the most dangerous human endeavor in existence? Probably the dreaded blind date. Set in a jaded city full of missed connections, the musical is about Aaron and Casey, whose unpredictable evening unfolds in real time. Can this mismatched pair turn what could be a dining disaster into something special before the check arrives?

Synopsis:
Ever been on a date and wondered what the other person was thinking? This new musical comedy lets you peer inside the nervous and busy minds of two would-be lovebirds, Soho artist Casey and Wall Street trader Aaron, on their first date. How can they know if they’re right for each other when old boyfriends, ex-fiancées, assorted friends, relatives, and even the waiter keep offering unsolicited advice? This relationship may just have a chance — if only they can get their inner voices to shut up!
