Be among the first to see the new musical where one kiss from a mysterious stranger changes Rita and Peter’s lives forever. “For better or worse” takes on new meaning in this sweeping love story set to a breathtaking score featuring a stellar cast from Broadway and across the country.
Based on Craig Lucas' 1988 play and 1992 film adaptation of the same name, PRELUDE TO A KISS - THE MUSICAL is an admirable first attempt of a new musical that is, clearly, still a work-in-progress. In its current state, this genuinely charming but disjointed musical could use a sharp refocus and some more magical and narrative clarity.
Los Angeles is never lacking outstanding theatre, whether epic Broadway shows, engrossing dramas or bold fringe offerings. BroadwayWorld is rounding up our top recommended theatre every month. Selections for April 2024 include Funny Girl and more!
Artistic Director David Ivers directs “Prelude to a Kiss, The Musical” in April. In this video, he discusses what to expect from this World Premiere. “For better or worse” takes on new meaning when a mysterious guest requests a kiss at Peter and Rita’s wedding—and their lives are forever changed.
