The Broadway musical-comedy about one blind date that goes wonderfully, awkwardly, hilariously off the rails.
The Broadway musical-comedy about one blind date that goes wonderfully, awkwardly, hilariously off the rails.
What happens when a cautious, relationship-minded guy meets a fearless serial dater for a blind date?
First Date: The Musical is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that follows Aaron and Casey through one unforgettable evening filled with awkward silences, unexpected chemistry, and the voices in their heads brought to life.
Set in a bustling New York City restaurant, the musical transforms a simple dinner into a hilarious, heartfelt experience where friends, family, exes, and inner critics burst into song and dance around the couple.
Packed with witty humour, a modern score, and plenty of relatable moments, it's a celebration of taking chances, embracing vulnerability, and discovering that sometimes the best things happen when you least expect them.
Whether you're happily single, hopelessly romantic, or have survived a few disastrous dates yourself, First Date promises an entertaining night out full of laughter, heart, and the excitement of new beginnings.
