WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Joe Thompson, 49, has been single for longer than he ever intended to be, and now he's ready to start again. In his search for love and companionship, Joe joins a video dating agency. With the help of the agency's receptionist, he makes a video to send to prospective dates. Often hilarious and surprisingly moving, the process peels back the layers of Joe's life, revealing what is truly important. 2004 Green Room Award (Australia) for Best Original Musical.

If there's a funnier song in this year's crop of new musicals than the one from Altar Boyz that includes the lyric "Jesus called me on my cell phone," we can count our blessings. Indeed, if there's a more imaginative tuner than Altar Boyz, we have cause to drop an extra-large bill on the collection plate.
