BWW EXCLUSIVE: Swoon! Paper Mill's CAN-CAN Inspires Romantic Real Life Engagement Proposal
By: Pat Cerasaro Oct. 21, 2014
The current revival of Cole Porter's classic musical CAN-CAN at the Paper Mill Playhouse welcomed two audience members who loved the show - and each other - so much that they chose it as the location to commit to an engagement earlier this month.
The official story is as follows: "Love was in the air this past Saturday evening at Paper Mill Playhouse's Broadway-bound romantic hit musical "Can-Can."
On the day of their two year anniversary, Jason Gouveia made the decision to propose to the love of his life, Angelique Lowry. He told her he had to work that morning, so he was able to go out and buy the ring without her suspecting a thing. Jason was able to get tickets to "Can-Can" at the last minute, and told Angelique that a night at the theater would be something fun and exciting to do for their anniversary. She agreed, but of course had no idea what other tricks he had up his sleeve for the evening. During intermission, Jason got down on one knee in the middle of the lobby, and Angelique said yes! Word of the proposal quickly spread backstage, and everyone pulled together to make their night even more special.View the photos of the cast congratulating the newly engaged couple backstage and more below.
