This new show by Morris Bobrow (Shopping! The Musical) traces the relationship of two independent people from first meeting, to dating, to moving in together and beyond. The various stages of romance, warts and all, are exposed and the question asked: Love is one thing, but can it survive close proximity?

* Additional fees apply.

The storyline idea was there but the male actor seemed a bit stiff for the frivolity required to make this play work for me.

My longtime "boyfriend" and I just loved this. I thought it would be very "low brow" (ahem!), but after seeing all the good reviews, I gave it a shot. Well, glad I did! It is clever, very well-performed, touching and very funny. Take everyone you know - they will all relate!!

I don't normally like musicals, especially Broadway musicals, but this one is completely different from those.

This show has fun, clever and funny songs (and storyline) about one couple and their evolving relationship.

Great acting, wonderful voices, too. Lots of humor throughout.

If you liked "Are we there yet?", a clever musical from the same writer a few years ago, then you'll really like this show as well.

A modern informed look at relationships and the compromises they require. My girlfriend and I went on our Anniversary and loved it. Great lyrics, spirited music and performances. We were in tears a few times.
