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.

Cute, Charming, Fluffy, Scrappy

See it if you're an animal lover and are looking for some light and fluffy entertainment.

Don't see it if you want a fancy-schmancy production -- this show is on a tiny stage with a curio cabinet approach to set design.

Sweet, Predictable, Romantic, Clever set

See it if Want a twist of a puppy in a traditional "Boy Meet Girl" story. Lindsey Vanwinkle's a standout. She makes the most of the B material.

Don't see it if Don't like predicable love stories. Expect a dog - this one is mimed. - but the cast does a great job of making him believable.

Fluffy, Cliched, Charming

See it if you like the cliché rom-com musical. 3/4 of the cast is really talented, especially the two leads. Half of the music is really good.

Don't see it if you can't tolerate a really un-even book. Also don't see it if you don't have an imagination of your own, this show REQUIRES it.

Cute, Banal, Fluffy

See it if will feel satisfied with one well-acted character with some dimension (Miranda), in the midst of 3 flat ones; like romantic comedies

Don't see it if you can't get past an overly stereotypical chauvinistic best friend character (fine acting, just completely unlikeable); want any depth Read more

Fluffy, Disappointing, Predictable, Very average

See it if You like small venue musicals that are predicable and "cute" - sort of. Must love dogs...

Don't see it if You have the option of seeing something else that day/night.

Banal, Cliched, Dated, Disappointing, Fluffy

See it if Mediocre writing and outdated non pc relationships don't make you cringe. You like predictable rom-com situations and endings.

Don't see it if You are wanting to see an up to date comedy with nuanced acting and intriguing characters and interesting and subtle plot lines.

Dated, Banal, Cliched, Clever, Fluffy

See it if you are a true, die-hard musical theatre devotee and are interested in the curiosities that are commercial Off-Broadway and Ken Davenport.

Don't see it if you want to something that speaks to the era we are living in.

Disappointing, Banal, Cliched

See it if You like fluffy, cutesy, and cliched musicals. Nothing new here. Best part of the show was (spoiler alert!)...the dog.

Don't see it if ... you have anything better to do. It's mildly entertaining, some earnest performances but overall disappointing.
