FIRST DATE
FIRST DATE
When tightly wound Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a quick drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious, high-stakes dinner. Casey and Aaron’s inner critics take on a life of their own when other restaurant patrons and the wait staff get into the act. First Date is a hysterical and hopeful musical about the chances we take to find love.​
