young love

Strange and complicated rhythm structures and overheated harmonies, along with mystic bird calls in the piano all bespeak the magic of his young love.

Comedy, drama, crime and young love — these under-the-radar shows offer a little something for everyone.

The visuals are stripped-down and the staging unconventional; instead of indulging the giddy melodrama of young love, the emphasis is on brooding atmospherics.

Theatre Ventures’ press release described the new “Crazy Rich Asians” musical as “a fun, engaging and hilarious look at what can happen when young love collides with old money.”

But it’s also simple, it’s earnest and silly, and it taps into multiple spots on the tree of life: the fervor of young love, the pain of growing up, the joy and frustration of parenthood, the pursuit of impossible dreams.
