Danger and illusion spark the flames of attraction for four couples centuries and continents apart during two one-act musicals. In Vienna, the couples pursue a delightful romp to elude sexual ennui at the turn of the 20th century, followed by a modern look at affection and disaffection set in the Hamptons.
Currently nominated for 15 Carbonell Awards, Slow Burn Theatre is known for casting talented local performers and the cast of Romance/Romance features Laura Hodos, Matthew Korinko, Mike Westrich and Leah Sessa.
This Broadway and Off-Broadway hit musical is directed and choreographed by Slow Burn Theatre Artistic Director Patrick Fitzwater and features the creative team of musical director Emmanuel Schvartzman, scenic designer April Soroko, lighting designer Lance Blank, sound designer Richard Szczublewski, costume designer Rick Pena and production stage manager Justin Schneyer.
The original Broadway production received five Tony Award nominations including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score.
