April 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Get ready for Joe DiPietro's "love-happy" musical revue as you've never seen it before! Watch as four actors perform over twenty characters in the tricky tango known as the modern day mating dance. We will explore sex, dating, marriage, parenthood, less sex... and other various trials and tribulations on the rocky path of romance. You'll be laughing and singing all the way home from this hip, funny, and witty escapade.
