Love Somebody

Produced by: Halcyon Theatricals
(Hal Luftig, Cathy Dantchik, and Kevin Connor)

Book by: Rehana Lew Mirza and Mike
Lew

Music and Lyrics by: Betty Who

Performer: Betty Who

A musical that takes the competing, the
wit and the vinegar of Mean Girls, the anxiety and betrayals of Dear
Evan Hansen and the endless strategizing of Netflix’s “Sex Education:” who
is getting it and who isn’t. 

Sam has written a musical, Ros didn’t
like it and said so in the school newspaper.

Christian has fallen for Ros, but Ros
is not interested in a relationship – and certainly not with a jock. Ros is
struggling with her own identity and is not ready to take on another. Sam is
forced to hunt for the key to unlock Ros’s heart and connect her with
Christian. That search and the discovery of the riches that Ros’s heart holds
forces Sam to confront her cynicism and discover that she herself has connected
with Ros.  In this reversal of the Cyrano
triangle, a young woman takes charge.
