It is easy to see why LOVE QUIRKS, A New Musical Based on True Events, is the recipient of four 2021 Broadway World Off-Broadway Awards. This show recounts the joys and despairs of four 30-somethings (authentically portrayed by Erin Lamar, Maggie McDowell, Matthew Schatz, and Lauren Testerman) dipping and re-dipping their toes into the love pool. Seth Bisen-Hersh’s fresh lyrics and music performed by strong resonant voices move the story by Mark Childers along to places we have all been. The insecurities of coupling, the pugnacious nature of divorce, the pain of betrayal, and the general anxieties blend beautifully with the resilience of renewal, the hope of triumph, and of course the like-no-other-feeling of being in love. And yet, despite all the trials and tribulations, trust and desire keep us coming back for more. LOVE QUIRKS is a great reminder of the power of love and couldn’t show up at a better time.
