Overview
A tiny New York apartment gets even smaller as a young couple’s wildest fantasies come to life. A hunky fireman, and the seductive “girl-next-door,” burst to life from a store-bought picture frame and turn one couple’s cold feet into a fun and sexy parable of modern love.
Casting & Production
Casting
Note: all four characters are in their 20s/30s
ALEX (our hero; bari-tenor): charmingly indecisive “man-boy” who feels too young to grow up, but is old enough to know better.
LANEY (his fiancée; non-legit mezzo-soprano): strong and independent, yet warm and vulnerable modern career woman, full of wonderful and beautiful contradictions.
EVELYN (his fantasy; mix-y soprano w/ belt): lovely, lithe, gentle, fierce, saintly, sexy—a gorgeous comic dynamo in a white sundress.
TOMÁS (his nemesis/her fantasy; big baritone): hunky, larger-than-life, and über-romantic fantasy-stud who appears in many guises and speaks in many accents.
