The new musical comedy Five Course Love, with book, lyrics and music by Gregg Coffin, opened on Sunday, October 16th at the Minetta Lane Theatre (18 Minetta Lane, between 6th Ave. and McDougal St). Directed by Emma Griffin and presented by the Geva Theatre Center, the show is making its New York premiere after hit runs at the Geva in Rochester, New York and at the Sacramento Theatre Company.
The show features Heather Ayers (Forbidden Broadway, Pardon My English), John Bolton (Spamalot, Contact, Titanic) and Jeff Gurner (The Lion King) in its three-person cast; the musical is choreographed by Mindy Cooper."Five dates. Five restaurants. One chance at love. Five Course Love is a new musical that is equal parts comedy and music with heaping portions of that elusive search for love thrown in for good measure. Three actors portray fifteen characters whose amorous combinations are played out in this high-energy screwball comedy using an array of musical styles," according to production notes.The performance schedule is Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays at 8:00PM, Saturdays at 3:00PM & 8:00PM and Sundays at 3:00PM & 7:00PM. There are no Wednesday performances. Tickets are priced at $65 and may be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com or by calling (212) 307-4100.
