Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Twice Around

There’s one special soulmate out there for everybody, right? But what if you meet your match and … fireworks fizzle? Should you give up on love, or try again? Subtitled “Your Second Chance Is Waiting,” this original musical from Northern Stage answers the latter question with a resounding yes. Two men and two women, each fresh from a breakup with “the one,” fling themselves into the perils of the Internet dating scene, then unloose their hearts in songs with cheeky titles such as “Sixty’s the New 40” and “You Can’t Judge a Profile by the Picture.” The four strong voices in this world-premiere cast belong to veterans of Broadway and touring companies. With music by Brett Schrier and book and lyrics by Catherine Doherty, Take Two is poised to go big. Don’t wait to catch it on the rebound.
