Overview
Romantics Anonymous
U.S. Premiere
The Wallis presents
Romantics Anonymous
Book by Emma Rice
Music & Lyrics by Christopher Dimond and Michael Kooman
Directed by Emma Rice
Mar 17-29 / Bram Goldsmith Theater
Adapted by Emma Rice (Kneehigh’s Brief Encounter and The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk) from the French-Belgian film Les Émotifs Anonymes, this new musical is a treat for all the senses. Angélique makes beautiful chocolates, carefully infused with all the emotion that seems to overwhelm her in daily life. Jean-René runs a chocolate factory that is running out of steam. Both seek help from the usual sources: Jean-René favors self-help tapes and Angélique joins a support group. Filled with all the joy and pain it takes to survive and love in the modern world, Romantics Anonymous is a tale that will lift any heart.
“????? You really will leave the theatre dancing on air and beaming from ear to ear” - Broadway World
“It melts your heart and tickles your fancy, leaving you giddy with laughter, tearful and elated.” – The Stage
