WINE LOVERS tells the story of a charming artist, Brian Scott, and a know-it-all business woman, Katherine Reese – two seemingly incompatible students attending a wine class led by effervescent wine connoisseur Charles Thompson, whose goal in life is to impart the pleasures of selecting and drinking wine. Over the course of 70 minutes, Brian, Katherine and the audience learn all about reds, whites, screw caps, Zinfandels…and a little bit about love.

“The original concept came out of the inherent theatricality of a wine class, and the reasons why people attend such a class,” says Michael Green, the show’s creator, who served as Gourmet Magazine’s exclusive Wines and Spirits Consultant for 19 years. “Wine is such a romantic beverage that turning a wine tasting into a musical love story just felt natural.”

WINE LOVERS features a score written by international wine expert Michael Green and jazz pianist Gary Negbaur, with a book by Travis Kramer with additional contributions by Green and Negbaur. The show is produced and directed by Holly-Anne Ruggiero (Broadway: Jersey Boys, Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays) and choreographed by Holly Cruz (Broadway: Seussical, Cats), and stars Jamie Wax in the lead role.
