Musical comedy about internet dating!
"ROMANCE.COM"
If ever there was a subject for musical comedy it's internet dating, Set in the year 2005, when Alan Fisher meets Katie Bass on an internet dating service, the notes of love are found, keystroke by keystroke. Throw in Alan's pessimistic best friend Bill, his black-sheep father Steve, and Pam's skeptical mother Katie and you have a romantic mix that is sure to entertain. Eleven original songs.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:
"Romance.com, with words, book and lyrics by Joe Simonelli, is a promising new work...the musical scenes are witty, funny and poignant."

For immediate release:
Prolific playwright Joe Simonelli to stage a season of shows starting in 2018 at the Historic Brook Arts Center in Bound Brook, New Jersey!
Joe Simonelli, in collaboration with the Brook Art Center, will present three of his popular plays at the historic theatre starting with his hilarious comedy 'MEN ARE DOGS', a play about women in a single/divorce support group, which will be staged for seven performances in March. That play will be followed up with the equally hilarious semi sequel, 'OLD RINGERS' in mid summer and finally his thriller, 'THE GHOST IN THE MEADOW' in October. Brook Art Center Board of Directors Chairperson Kat Cannelongo is very happy to welcome Mr. Simonelli and his extensive catalog of entertaining plays to the Arts Center and looks forward to a continued collaboration with the playwright moving forward. Mr. Simonelli is an award winning playwright whose engaging titles get performed through the U.S. and Canada. His agent, Gary DaSilva, remarks "I represent such notable playwrights as Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, and Mart Crowley. I find Joe Simonelli to be in good company with his more famous counterparts."
