“Nathan C. Jones: A Love Story?,” a world premiere musical, is a one-person show told through a series of different conversations Nathan has with himself over the course of his “love” story with Chad. The conversations are all sung, with varying tempos and styles, while the audience watches Nathan’s evolution of blossoming love turning … extremely sour. In 50 minutes, this dark comedic musical explores the pathos of one slightly deranged man as he fosters, then misinterprets, then fatally destroys the relationship he’s always dreamed of. Book by Vanessa Claire Stewart, music by Brendan Milburn, and lyrics by Milburn and Stewart. Featuring Amir Levi and directed by Daniel Henning.

Reviews
On the surface, NATHAN C. JONES appears to be an unassuming little show about a young man and his new romance. But, as the audience is drawn further and further into the story, it becomes clear that the writers are exploring much deeper questions about loneliness, the desire to be loved, and what happens when reality sits on shifting sands.
