The Story:

In the game of love, everyone deserves a shot.

5 restaurants. 3 actors.15 characters. All on the hunt for One True Love. The evening begins at Dean’s Texas Eats, where a blind date goes char-broiled wrong. Next, at the Trattoria Pericolo, a mob wife has a secret rendezvous behind her husband’s back. At Der Schlupfwinkel Speiseplatz, a waiter, a sexy German siren, and her kept man discover that they are all dating each other. A handsome bandit and his rival battle for the hand of the beautiful Rosalinda at Ernesto’s Cantina. And at the Star-Lite Diner, a waitress pines for her biker heartthrob. Will cupid triumph or will it all just end in heartbreak and heartburn?

The Experience:

A rollicking good time, and a feast for the eyes and the ears as each new restaurant serves up a different style of music. A tour-de-force performance.

First developed at Geva and brought to Off-Broadway in 2005 – a triumphant return home!
