Dated, Cute, sweet

See it if you like your entertainment light. A cute Rom-Com, there's nothing new here, but it's a pleasant way to pass the time.

Don't see it if you want something more than a pleasant one act musical. It's as light as a feather; nothing memorable but a nice time while you're there.

"A delightful new musical rom-com that exudes charm and evokes smiles...A well-cast ensemble brings the familiar personalities to life...Castellino’s witty direction and choreography imbue the show with a fast pace and a whimsical sense of humor...A vibrant, heart-warming, old-fashioned musical celebration of family, growth, love, and food, with an eye-popping design, an affable cast, and imaginative direction, so just relax and enjoy the fun, feel good, and smile!"

“An engaging evening of merriness…If this sounds sophomoric, be patient; the material that gives dimension to these characters is adroit, simple and charming…'Marry Harry’s' unpretentious score is accessible and its lyrics have wit and insight, but if these characters have a 'dark side,' this is not the musical to give it a home…Morgan Cowling and David Spadora are attractive and totally believable as two emerging adults…We leave the theater with a smile on our collective faces.”

"Smoothly directed and choreographed...Might be a pleasant, if somewhat unexceptional musical romance if not for the brilliant interpolation of the three Village Voices. This modern-day Greek chorus both comments on and facilitates the action...A consistently upbeat and melodic score that mixes humor with romance. The songs require an emotional range and a comic timing the cast has mastered handily...A delicious treat that’s good for the diet and the heart."

"A sweet romantic musical comedy...The show is well-acted and well-sung by the seven-member cast. The songs are fun. Many of them are about such relatable topics as carrying on the family name, almost getting married, and turning thirty. The show is greatly entertaining and very funny. The trio of actors who portray a kind of Greek chorus commenting on the action, usually through song, only serves to add to the hilarity."

"A joyful and optimistic paean to New York City, family, love, and dreams. This cheerful new musical, brimming with good songs and great laughs, covers loads of territory in its fast-moving 80 minutes. The sensational and funny book is set in the East Village...The music and lyrics are wonderful—alternately wistful, humorous, and always tuneful...The cast of seven is tremendous, all with fine acting chops and wonderful singing voices."
