R.S.V.P.
R.S.V.P. is a one-act musical for adults. Book by Donna Warfield, Lyrics by Arianna Rose, music by Aden Kent Ramsey. The most recent draft of R.S.V.P. was completed in August 2019.
Gina is still carrying a big torch for her ex-husband, Tony. Convinced he still loves her, she concocts a plan to make him jealous by sending him a fake wedding invitation. Tony, thinking that Gina is inviting him for one last “roll in the hay”, before marrying another man, responds yes to the invitation and a small heart is added. Seeing the heart Gina is convinced Tony still wants her and wants her back. Gina plans a real wedding, hiring Floyd, someone she met in therapy while working through her post divorce depression, as a rent-a-groom, fully expecting Tony to sweep her off her feet and re-marry her. Floyd has his own set of issues and brings Bessie, his emotional support horse, to the wedding. Mona, Gina’s mother, is clueless to what is happening and calms her nerves with Proseco and Xanax. Misinformation and misunderstandings create hilarious mayhem in this madcap farce.
