Overview

Before they created the most successful sitcom in the history of television, the head writers of Friends teamed up with some of New York's most talented composers and lyricists to create this off-Broadway hit. Engaging, funny, romantic, heartbreaking and occasionally wacky, Personals is a collection of songs and scenes about people who place personal ads... lonely people looking for that certain someone. In other words, Personals is about most of us, searching for love in the modern world.
