Directed by Michelle Tattenbaum with music direction by Vadim Feichtner and choreography by Mandy Moore, Nobody Loves You will run May 9 - June 17 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.

Filled with tuneful pop songs, Nobody Loves You takes audiences on a hilarious behind-the-scenes ride through reality television and into real life. When Jeff, a philosophy grad student, joins a dating show to win back his ex, he breaks all the rules and tries to blow the game wide open...until he meets Jenny. In a world where every kiss is staged for the cameras, can two people find a real connection?
The creative team includes Michael Schweikardt (Scenic Design), Emily Pepper (Costume Design), Tyler Micoleau (Lighting Design), Paul Peterson (Sound Design), Stephanie Klapper, CSA (Casting) and Diana Moser (Stage Manager).
Nobody Loves You is supported in part through a gift from Production Sponsors Paula and Brian Powers.
