Auditions: First Date

First Date - Broadway’s Musical Comedy

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 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 when other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents, who sing and dance 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?

Characters

PRINCIPALS - two 30-ish New York City singles set up by friends and family

Aaron - Male. Jewish investment banker. He has never been on a blind date before. Out of his element, nervous, and trying way too hard.


Casey - Female. Daring, bold, and delightfully controversial. All as a defense mechanism.
