"When He Looked At Me"

ROMEO & BERNADETTE

Perhaps you thought Romeo died at the climax of ROMEO AND JULIET? Nope. He just took a sleeping potion, and when he awakens a few centuries later, he finds himself in Brooklyn, surrounded by girls, guns, and some of the world's most recognizable Italian melodies.

Ideal for strong comic singer-actors, ethnic humour, fans of "The Godfather" and "The Sopranos".

"Seldom, if ever... has a musical spoof-o-rama chased its subjects with as much silly abandon... Folds vintage standards into the musical theatre fabric... Proudly lowbrow, shamelessly cute, politically incorrect, retro-hip and basically adorable." - Variety
