This show played out of town and was wildly successful. I had the good fortune to be present for a sing-through this afternoon (my first exposure to the show) - and while a "review" would be inappropriate, I will say that it's definitely a show to watch for when it opens off-Broadway. A unique and clever premise/device and a diverse score. It's similar in style to I Love You, You're Perfect... and Little By Little. (The latter being one of my favorite underrated shows).
It's a one act musical that is divided into 5 stories or "dates" at 5 different restaurants - and three actors playing the roles. The songs/music for each story matches the setting (i.e. the italian restaurant story has italian operetta-like music while the date at the BBQ restaurant is western, and so on).
It's definitely an "original" while feeling familiar.
