Program

MQ Musical Theatre presents the side-splitting Broadway romantic musical comedy 'First Date'. Known globally for its relatable humor and fast-paced, contemporary score, this production hits the Hong Kong stage in April 2027. The story follows Aaron, a buttoned-up financial professional, and Casey, an unconventional free spirit. What starts as a standard dinner date quickly descends into a musical battleground where their inner monologues—complete with overprotective friends, judgmental parents, and haunting exes—manifest as a spectacular, singing-and-dancing choir, exposing their deepest secrets.
