The Story:

Austin, a greeting card writer, is distraught after finding his girlfriend in bed with another man, but his brother Jeff is intent on forcing him back into the perplexingNew Yorkdating scene. Marcy has also recently gone through a bad break-up, and after taking advice from her good friend Diana, she searches for the perfect rebound–a man who is wrong for her in every way. In a delightful, musical way the show explores online dating, the ‘rules’ of dating, and relationships in a modern setting as the four eventually learn to love–not in spite of their differences–but because of them!

Presented through special arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW).
