New Musical Wine Lovers to Debut at the Triad Theater

Wine Lovers, billed as "the wine-tasting musical," will play six performances at the Triad Theater in December.
From Dec. 1-3 and Dec. 8-10, theatregoers will have the chance to enjoy six different wines while watching the New York premiere of the new musical. Holly-Anne Ruggiero will direct the production, which stars Kinsey's Tuck Milligan, Blue Man Group's Eric Rubbe and The Scarlet Pimpernel's Jessica Phillips. Show time is 7 PM.
Wine Lovers features a score by composer-jazz pianist Gary Negbaur and wine expert Michael Green and a book by Travis Kramer. The musical, according to press notes, "tells the story of two mismatched students at a wine class led by an effervescent teacher and their journey of discovery."
Co-creator Green said in a statement, "The original concept came out of the inherent theatricality of a wine class, and the reasons why people attend a class." Negbaur added, "Wine is such an inherently romantic beverage that turning a wine tasting into a musical love story just felt natural."
The Triad Theatre is located in Manhattan at 158 West 72nd Street. For more information or to purchase $65 tickets, visit www.wineloversthemusical.com. Attendees must be 21 or over.
