First Date is the hilarious musical comedy about that ominous “First Date” and the unexpected turns it can take. When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. As the date unfolds, the couple quickly realize they are not alone on this unpredictable evening with Casey and Aaron’s inner critics taking on a life of their own as other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents singing and dancing them through ice-breakers, appetizers and potential conversational land mines. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives?
