A GAY MUSICAL COMEDY ABOUT THE ULTIMATE SEARCH FOR “THE ONE”, AND FINDING YOURSELF ALONG THE WAY.
After being dumped by his dream boyfriend, 27-year-old serial monogamist Michael faces the chaos of gay single life in New York City.
As he searches for love, he encounters a manifestation obsessed stalker, a Gen Z Hinge date, a Shakespeare-quoting twunk, and a Grindr-fueled spiral featuring Connor the Otter, Dom Top, Sub Bottom, The Swingers, and more.
“A witty, incisive, and immensely talented musical... An honest and intelligent work that dismantles the conventions of the romantic comedy.”
