First Date – Location, Tickets, Reviews
First Date is a musical comedy that portrays a blind date in real time. Aaron is new to the blind date scene, whereas Casey is a seasoned veteran. The two sing and dance their way through ice-breakers, awkward conversation, and, surprisingly, really hitting it off.
As the date unfolds, the couple realizes they are not alone on their adventure as other restaurant patrons join their high-stakes evening. The show is about baggage, family, and the risks we take trying to find love.
The leads are portrayed by Zachary Levi (TV: Chuck) and Krysta Rodriguez (TV: Smash).
UPDATE, November 6, 2013:
First Date will close on January 5, 2014 after 34 previews and 174 regular performances
