In Date Of A Lifetime, Marvin and Katie have a fleeting encounter while speed dating. During their brief time together they each, in turn, imagine what their lives would be like if they allowed this momentary meeting to evolve to the next level. Their decisions may determine their entire future and whether this will turn out to be a date from hell, or the date of a lifetime.

We worked with New Jersey Rep on this charming two-character musical, reuniting us with director/choreographer
Marlo Hunter, who had taken on the same role when we workshopped My Life Is A Musical at The Duke on 42nd Street. That show would later have its premiere production at The Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, NY.

The reviews for Date Of A Lifetime were excellent:

“Two extraordinary actors, a remarkable script and impeccable direction make Date of a Lifetime a musical comedy hit… you won’t find a better production this side of the Hudson River” – broadwayworld.com

“If you would like to catch a lively, entertaining performance of the new two-hander musical comedy Date Of A Lifetime head straight to New Jersey Repertory Theater in Long Branch.” – nytheatre.com

“.. the whole piece really moves…these two characters are in constant motion, and it all goes to the most unexpected places.” - Asbury Park Press
