Double your pleasure with Romance/Romance. This Tony®-nominated tuner by Barry Harman and Keith Herrmann pairs two distinctive one-acts to create an entertaining musical that explores the highs and lows of love. The show begins in turn-of-the-century Vienna with The Little Comedy, based on the short story by Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler. Bored and cynical, two of society’s elite set out in search of meaningful relationships by posing as paupers. When their charade is revealed, they discover what they were looking for was right in front of them the whole time. The second act, Summer Share, is an updated take on Jules Renard’s play Pain de Menage. Summering in the Hamptons, two best friends contemplate marriage and monogamy, promising fidelity to their spouses even as they consider an affair with each other.
