"...Skillfully directed by James Esposito – who also handles scenic and sound design – FIRST DATE is an intimate and involving study of lonely singles trying to find that perfect fit – with the added bonus of over a dozen tunes, some cleverly choreographed dance (courtesy of Michael Marchak) , and nine voices raised in delightful tuneful melody. Kudos to Scott, Dailey, and Malfavon, who could charm the birds out of the trees, as well as to the rest of the cast rounded out by Michael Angel, Bonnie Joy Sludikoff, and Rachel Yoffe, all talented performers. And let’s not forget musical director Jonny Perl, making his Chromolume debut on keyboard."

"...Austin Winsberg’s book keeps audiences laughing throughout First Date’s brisk one act while offering food for thought along the way. (How does a first dater avoid those inner voices ever on the alert to sabotage happiness' Can an interfaith couple overcome family objections to their union' And what are the particular challenges of blind-dating in the Internet age, when small talk can be skipped with a potentially dangerous bit of Googling')"

"...First Date certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't need to. It's a cheerful dose of romance that reminds its audience why being having an open mind and showing a little vulnerability can lead to a happy ending."

"...First Date explores this universal experience in a delightful musical comedy with a book by Austin Winsberg and music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner. This contemporary boy-meets-girl meet-cute is Chromolume Theatre's first musical production in six years."
