First Date
Performance Lab, Wakefield, WF1 1EP
Saturday 13th February 2027
One date. Two strangers. What could possibly go wrong?
The drinks are ordered. The small talk is dying. And the voices in their heads? Absolutely NOT helping.
Welcome to First Date, where a blind date can turn into a beautiful romance… or a spectacular disaster.
When serial dater Casey meets hopeless romantic Aaron in a New York bar, neither has any idea what they’ve let themselves in for. Between cringe-worthy confessions, catastrophic first impressions, meddling friends and an inner circle of opinions that really should stay inside their heads, this date goes spectacularly off-script.
Packed with catchy songs, razor-sharp comedy and gloriously awkward moments, this hilarious Broadway musical serves up everything we love (and dread) about dating. The butterflies. The red flags. The overthinking. The desperate attempt to seem normal when, internally, you’re planning your wedding… or your escape route. Whether you’re loved-up, single, married or just grateful you don’t have to date anymore, First Date is a laugh-out-loud night of musical mayhem that proves finding love is never straightforward - especially when your brain won’t shut up.
Forget swiping. Book your seats. Because this is one date you’ll definitely want to be part of.
First Date - a comedy musical with more red flags than a dating app!
Please note that Thursday 4 February is a Preview Performance.
