New Musical 'Love Affair' World Premiere At Branford's Legacy Theatre

BRANFORD, CT —The Legacy Theatre continues its 2024 Mainstage season with Love Affair: A New Musical.

A world-premiere musical, Love Affair tells the story of a beautiful, yet unassuming woman who boards a transatlantic cruise bound for New York to marry a wealthy socialite. However, when she meets a captivating playboy on the ship, she discovers something she never expected: true love in a Love Affair.

Based on the 1939 film of the same title, which was later remade into the iconic film An Affair to Remember, this "thrilling new musical is sure to capture the hearts of all," the theatre noted in a news release.

Love Affair: A New Musicalfeatures book, music, and lyrics by Joseph J. Simeone with additional book by Annaliese Jakimides and additional lyrics by Ethan Kanfer and is based on the 1939 film by Donald Ogden Stewart.
