Katie Rose Clarke and Noah Weisberg To Star In DATE OF A LIFETIME at Abingdon Theatre Company

Abingdon Theatre Company (Chad Austin, Artistic Director) will present a one night only benefit performance of "Date of a Lifetime" a new musical with book and lyrics by Carl Kissin, music by Robert Baumgartner, Jr. with musical direction by Isaac Harlan and directed by Nathan Brewer. Starring Broadway's Katie Rose Clarke (Wicked, Light in the Piazza) and Noah Weisberg (South Pacific, Legally Blonde), the "date of a lifetime" will take place at Theater 71 (152 West 71st Street - just east of Broadway) on Monday, February 17th at 7pm.

In the pressurized few minutes of a speed date, two singles suggest to each other what they think their entire lives would be like if they allowed their brief tête-à-tête to go beyond the "switch partners" bell. Competing comical and fraught visions of the future leave them wondering if the person they have just met is the Date from Hell or the Date of a Lifetime.

"Date of a Lifetime is a fast paced ninety minutes packed full of wit, charm, great music, and amplified by the effervescent Katie Rose Clarke and Noah Weisberg" says Chad Austin, Abingdon Theatre Company's Artistic Director. "Under the helm of Nathan Brewer, it is bound to be a fabulous evening."

Benefiting Abingdon's ongoing mission to support new works, ticket prices are: $125 "Date of a Lifetime" (includes a pre-show reception, preferred seating and post show bubbly and sweets with the company), $75 "First Date" (includes pre-show reception and preferred seating) and $45 "Blind Date" (general admission).
