Synopsis:
The longest running off-Broadway revue in history has been revised for the 21st century! This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as “the relationship.” Through sketches and songs, Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?” The updated version features two new songs, revised lyrics and dialogue throughout the show to reflect dating in modern times.

provided).
Character Breakdown:
In the original production, all characters were played by a cast of four. However, each scene in the revue introduces new characters who are not seen again, and therefore it will be cast with 8 actors to play the following parts:
FEMALE ACTORS will play: Julie, Betty, Dianne, Mom, Woman, Jane, Susan, Bride, Ashley, Tyler, Wife, Connie, She, Rose, Pat, Veronica, Jane, Karen, Attorney, Mary, Mrs. Whitewood, Clergywoman, Bridesmaid, Marlene, Emma, Samantha, Wife & Muriel
MALE ACTORS will play Jason, Bob #1, Chuck, Mitch, Man, Peter, Brad, Groom, Frank 2, Dave, Noah, Mark, Husband, Video Operator, Stan, Bob #2, James, Dad, Spokesman, Willy, Trentell, Clergyman, Frank 1, Zachary, Husband, Guy, He & Arthur
All must have excellent contemporary musical theater singing voices. Songs are in different ranges, so different voice types are needed- some belt, some soprano, some baritone and some tenor songs. Looking for funny people who are excelling singers and who move well.
