Caroline can’t seem to get her life together. Every weekend she finds herself hung over, in a stranger’s bed. Charming womaniser Christopher is determined to win her heart. The only problem is, his love of expensive scotch and blonde women makes it hard for Caroline to trust him.

Caroline’s best friend Ellie just wants love. She finds the lesbian dating pool to be small and doesn’t understand why she can’t make a healthy relationship work. Lucky for her, she runs into a charismatic guitar player Valerie, who might be just who she is looking for. Yet Valerie has a secret that she will not share, and it may destroy their budding relationship before it even begins.

One night out will either make or break the romances to come. With tequila, song and dance, it all seems to be going well for the two couples, yet their self-destructive egos leaves them wondering where their clothes, and their dignity went.

Lucy Matthews has produced a startlingly strong, at times confronting musical, which is also very enjoyable.”
