Rising in Love is the modern day coming-of-age story about engaged interracial Jewish couple Rosie and Scott, their fears and anxieties surrounding their upcoming marriage, and the friends and family who help them learn what it takes to rise in love.
If you combined Cole Porter, The Fantasticks, and Avenue Q, you would get this playful and lovable new musical with beautifully lyrical and singable music that touches on growth, compromise, relationships, communication, and what it means to grow up and find love in 2019.
