Krebs calls the industry presentation a developmental test of this new Christopher Scott-directed piece, made up of 102 love songs sung by five performers. Krebs said that the 95-minute, two-act show is production-ready and could tour or do regional engagements. He hinted at a possible New York City sitdown. The cast includes Kevin Earley (A Tale of Two Cities, Les Miserables, Thoroughly Modern Millie), Deb Lyons (Smokey Joe's Cafe, Jekyll & Hyde), Monica Patton (Ragtime, Abby's Song), Dominique Plaisant (The Wild Party, Lestat) and Nicholas Rodriguez (Tarzan, Almost Heaven).

Industry crowds are expected to attend Jan. 9-12, but a waiting list for the general public will also be made. The performance is at Stage 1 at New World Stages on West 50th Street.

Krebs said the songs — all well-known pop tunes and standards — are woven together as "solos, group numbers and medleys," and broken into thematic sections.

For Lovers Only is billed as "a musical revue about what's really important."
