Show Info
Book by Cary Gitter
Lyrics by Neil Berg & Cary Gitter
Music by Neil Berg
Conceived and Directed by Joe Brancato
With Marilyn Caserta, Diana DiMarzio, Rory Max Kaplan, Lauren Singerman, and Max Wolkowitz
Angie Mastrantoni has a lot going on: her own art gallery, a new apartment, but not much time for romance... until her divorced Orthodox Jewish neighbor, Seth, unexpectedly knocks on her door.
A sparkling new musical about big-city life and the possibility of finding love when you least expect it – maybe even right down the hall.
