AddressZenith Theatre, Cnr Railway St and McIntosh St, Chatswood
In nineteenth century Vienna, Alfred and Josephine are discontent with their lives. He is a wealthy young man, tired of women only wanting him for his money, and she is a woman used to wanting men for their money. Confiding their woes to their respective best friends in letters, they each separately decide to dress down and go walking in the park, hoping for something different. Of course they meet, and each fall madly in love with the others' assumed personaÂ…but can love survive the revelation of the truth?
In the present, best friends Monica and Sam with their respective spouses Lenny and Barb are on vacation. Lenny and Barb go to bed, leaving the friends to talk. The conversation starts with the realization that they are proof platonic relationships between men and women are possible. But the unseen "ghosts" of their spouses aren't so sure. The talk soon turns to the idea of having affairs, though they both recognize that they love their spouses very much. The air becomes uncomfortable as the two "platonic" friends realize that they are interested in more than just friendship. Will they give in to their desires?
The last time “Romance Romance” was seen in Sydney was 1996; and Victoria and her small cast and production team felt such an excellent piece of musical theatre deserves to be seen again.
