LOVE IS DEAD
Book by Brett Ryback & Jeff Luppino-Esposito, music by Brett Ryback, lyrics by Jeff Luppino-Esposito
Jordan has arrived in the Hudson Valley for a long Halloween-weekend writing trip — an escape from an awful breakup with her ex, and a chance to finish an article for her dream job. All she needs is a little “me time.” Instead, she meets Cody: a chronically laid-back, obnoxiously ATTRACTIVE ghost who haunts her rental. Cody is less scary than he is annoying. If Jordan is going to write, she must get rid of him, which proves easier said than done…
Coming to CVREP on April 16th at 2pm.
