Truly a musical for everyone, it reveals the folly and fragility of young love, age and human nature with whimsy and poignancy.

Rumors by Neil Simon, A Comedy

Four couples are invited to attend a 10th wedding anniversary party for a New York deputy mayor. However, the party never begins because the host has shot himself (barely) and his wife is missing. The cover-up grows progressively harder to sustain as more guests arrive and nobody can remember who has been told what. As the situation becomes more crazed, the partygoers become more confused. Funny to the side-splitting end!
