Sex with friends and other tiny catastrophes. Told over 18 months, Smart Casual is a brand new musical that follows six inseparable friends as they fall in love, and fall apart. MEL has got to get a job, MARC doesn’t believe in love, WILLOW is addicted to yoga, BEN would wear a hoodie to the opera, LILY has emotional problems and JORDAN might have herpes.
Smart Casual is a funny and bittersweet examination of friendship, with a sharp musical score and a seriously funny script. There’s a reason it’s called Generation Z. Because it can’t get worse than this.
