Feb 8 - Mayfield Dinner Theatre - First Date - Cost $75.00 Brunch Included
Under 50 or out of area, fees are full fare (Double the cost) Opposites attract in this uproarious (and totally relatable) Broadway musical about the chances we all take to find love. When Aaron, a blind date newbie 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 in real time, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening. In a delightful and unexpected twist, Casey and Aaron’s inner critics take on a life of their own…imagine you’re on a blind date and your mother shows up – followed by your opinionated best friend, your therapist and a bevy of broken-hearted exes. Can this couple turn this dating disaster around before the check arrives?

And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. The apartment is smoke-filled, and the only thing Oscar can offer his guests is warm Coke and moldy sandwiches. The last to arrive is Felix Ungar, who has just been thrown out by his wife. Felix is depressed and seems suicidal, leading Oscar to invite Felix to be his roommate. However, as Felix takes on the domestic mantle in the apartment and proves just how difficult he is to live with, Oscar is driven to the edge of madness. Poker nights are no longer evenings of smoke, grubbiness, and blokey behavior instead, the guys are waited on hand and foot by Felix. The final straw occurs when Felix refuses to follow through with a double-date Oscar has set up with the beautiful Pigeon sisters, who live in the same apartment block. The clean freak and the slob come to blows, and will the ultimate ‘Odd Couple’ decide they aren't a couple at all?
