Romance
/ Romance November 3-19, 2011 Two acts linked by a common theme - love. Two entirely different takes on love are presented in our season kick-off, Romance/Romance, the charming Tony-nominated musical by Barry Harman and Keith Herrmann. Act One tells the comedic tale of two well-heeled lovers in Vienna, circa 1900, both feeling that their lives have become boring, looking to make a change. Alfred and Josefine meet each other as they are both pretending to be poor, working-class people. They realize that the love they’re looking for is not as difficult to find as it is to keep. Act Two shifts in time and place to modern New York. Sam and Monica are best friends and they’re married … he’s marred to Barb, she’s married to Lenny. On an outing to the country, in the late hours while their spouses sleep, Sam and Monica let a conversation about their love lives lead them into dangerous territory. Can these friends keep their marriages and their friendship together if they admit to the romantic feelings they harbor for each other? Featuring
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Thank you for a lovely evening. Romance/Romance is a deceptive show, in that it seems incredibly simple, but is actually pretty taxing on the performers, the director and the musical director. It was a pleasure to hear the score being played as well as it was, and I was pleased to report to my collaborator, composer Keith Herrmann, that his score was well-served. Because the show is a lot more challenging than it seems at first glance, I often attend productions with some trepidation, but left the theater glad to have attended. Each of the performers had some lovely moments, and from the director on down, everyone connected with the show seemed fully committed to honoring its intentions. What more can a writer ask for?" - Barry Harman, (11/13/11) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Best wishes for a beautiful run of a beautiful show--and always, always cherish your romantic notions." - Alison Fraser, Vokes Alum, Broadway Actress & Romance/Romance 's original Josefine/Monica _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Read the Review by Tony Annicone for The Theater Mirror _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ My wife and I attended your 8:00 PM show on November 12. We found ourselves constantly smiling throughout the performance. We're anxiously awaiting the next show. Thank you for a very nice evening out. Regards, Jerry and Leslie Ludlam |
