The Broadway comedy First Date
centers around a real-time blind date between uptight Aaron (Zachary Levi) and downtown free-spirit Casey (Krysta Rodriguez). While some First Date
plot points are more unlikely than others (like your Jewish grandmother appearing to you from beyond or your sassy waiter performing an 11 o’clock number in the middle of the restaurant), BroadwayBox found six moments from the charming modern musical that actually happen when two people go on a blind date.
Charge your best friend with bailing you out in case the date is a disaster
Sit through your fair share of awkward pauses as you attempt to keep the conversation going
Google the person you're going on a date with first and then hope your stealth mission never reveals itself
Compare the person sitting across from you to your most recent ex.
Share an awkward moment when the check arrives (me? you? dutch? dine and dash?)
Spoiler: If the date goes well, you share a goodnight kiss.
