Five Course Love

Stages Repertory Theatre
3201 Allen Parkway Houston

Enjoy a fly-on-the-wall view of a blind date at a Texas BBQ joint, a mob wife's secret rendezvous at an Italian bistro, a risqué evening at a schnitzel house, an all-out duel to win the heart of a lovely senorita at a Spanish cantina and one waitress' search for love at a roadside diner in Five Course Love. With three actors playing 15 different characters in five different restaurants, different musical styles for each restaurant and hilarious vignettes that remind us of the many sides of love, this show at Houston's Stages Repertory Theatre -- Arena Theater is a fun, must-see musical. Gregg Coffin wrote the book, music and lyrics for the show, which the Associated Press called "artfully silly and genuinely funny."
