About this show
Boy meets girl in prep school and gets a huge crush on her. But he blows it! His whole life he never stops believing that she was the one. And then, he gets a second chance. Eric Daniel Weiner, the acclaimed six-time Emmy nominee and co-creator of the global television sensation Dora the Explorer, is pursuing a life-long crush of his own: theatre. He's written a touching and comic solo show that's making audiences laugh, cry and believe again that what we need most in life is love. Developed with and Directed By Rob McCaskill.

Wiener tells you this tale with great conviction, so much so, that it could be his own life story, however, knowing that this is a controlled balance of fiction is what defines this as theatre of impeccable standard.
— North West End UK (5 out of 5 stars)
A very satisfying hour in the hands of a master story teller.
— one4review (4 out of 5 stars)
From early romantic misadventures, to finding love in later life, the performance is intricately structured, yet feels devoid of artifice.
— Three Weeks (5 out of 5 stars)
