About the Show

Seaglass Theatrical and Waterfront Theatrics present the New York premiere of this heartwarming musical, about a career-driven lawyer who adopts a pup that changes his perspective on life.

Roland thinks he must be married to get the partnership he desperately wants. So he follows the advice of his best buddy, Guy, and gets a puppy named Cupid as a chick magnet for his Hamptons vacation. The plan works: He's thrilled when Cupid leads him to a beautiful businesswoman named Blair! But not so thrilled when Cupid also leads him to Miranda, a dog trainer who is patient with puppies but not their owners. Through first dates, angry tangos, and a sudden disappearance, Roland ends up discovering there's more to life when you get a dog.

Endearing, Entertaining, Fluffy

See it if You love dogs. You enjoy romantic comedy musicals. You don't mind a small cast in a simple yet entertaining musical.

Don't see it if You don't like dogs; prefer something more sophisticated (it's not exactly Cole Porter); you don't enjoy a small musical. Read more

Cutsie, musical, cute dog, left humming the title song

See it if You like a story where women are treated like sex objects by one man and a necessity for a job promotion by another...You love dogs.

Don't see it if you don't like musicals, don't like dancing, and don't like a truly innovative set that many of us in NYC would like to take home with us. Read more

Entertaining, Fluffy, Creative set, nice vocals

See it if you love dogs. Nice guest appearance at the end. Although cliched, nice show in an intimate setting.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy musicals, small productions with a very simple plot line.

Funny, Unique, Good acting, Great staging

See it if you like somewhat predictable but cute boy meets girl musicals and/or dogs.

Don't see it if you don't like dogs, and shows that are predictable and somewhat cliched.

Cliched, Fluffy, Romantic, Entertaining, Sweet

See it if you like romantic comedies that are somewhat predictable but wear their heart on their sleeve and are ultimately charming

Don't see it if you are attracted to hip or edgy material. You can see the ins and outs of this plot coming a mile away. But it's also genuinely sweet.

Funny, Entertaining, Cute, Fun

See it if you enjoy a small-scale romantic comedy; delightful romp through a fun story; some unexpected laughs; an intimate musical - change of pace

Don't see it if you prefer large scale staging and productions or a large cast; you need surprises over a predictable story or a thought provoking/deep show
