Date of a Lifetime

Speed Dating, the social networking activity used by unattached singles wanting to meet a potential mate, gets a hyper-active workout in the virtually through-sung new two-person musical Date of a Lifetime.

This adventurous game during which its participants move in a neutral space from table to table for a prescribed four minutes of questioning, flirting, insinuating themselves as a possible partner in life has all the dramatic/comedic requirements of a speedy revue skit. Carl Kissin, who wrote the snappy and funny lyrics and the amusing book, and Robert Baumgartner Jr., who keeps apace with a bouncy score, have extended the basic idea into a breezy ninety-minutes of music and fun.
