Synopsis

Before they created the most successful sitcom in the history of television, the head writers of Friends teamed up with some of New York's most talented composers and lyricists to create this off-Broadway hit.

Engaging, funny, romantic, heartbreaking and occasionally wacky, Personals is a collection of songs and scenes about people who place personal ads... lonely people looking for that certain someone.

In other words, Personals is about most of us, searching for love in the modern world.

Press Reviews

"Are you looking for that special night where everything is going to be peachy, and you are going to meet the swellest little show of your dreams?... Personals is a winner, destined to find, apart from anything else, its own special place on the singles scene, the date show for the young in heart, the Jacques Brel of the 80s."
— New York Post

"Personals is a hilarious yet also sometimes agonising mix of stories that everyone has gone through or heard stories of in their dating history. With toe-tapping numbers, amusing scenes and excellent up-and-coming actors and actresses – this show certainly does put a smile on your face."
— LondonTheatre1
