I Love You Because ends off-Broadway run on May 21
The title says it all…if you want to see it, make haste!
I Love You Because, directed by Daniel Kutner, opened off-Broadway on February 14 to mixed reviews. In his Broadway.com Review of the play, William Stevenson wrote: “Ryan Cunningham’s book and lyrics aren’t nearly clever enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Jane Austen’s sparkling prose (or even the recent film adaptation). If one forgets about the allusions to the book, however, the show does boast several cute songs… If the semi-sweet, semi-silly show does prove to be a hit, perhaps the creative team will lower the volume a little. And while they’re making improvements, they might consider excising all the Jane Austen references. As it is, they just make this upbeat little musical look dumb.”
Ouch!
