“The new musical comedy “Don’t Hug Me, We’re Married” proves that you can’t have too much of a good thing…Whacky but right-on in its observations on relationships, the play is brought to life with a multi-talented, energetic cast that acts, sings and dances its way through an often twisted but always hilarious plot.”

“DON’T HUG ME, WE’RE MARRIED Incites Roars of Laughter!…This latest installment in this series of raucous musical comedies boasts a bevy of comical complications!” “Hilarity abounds!” – Get the Word Out

“‘Don’t Hug Me, We’re Married’ is the funniest Don’t Hug Me yet!” …”With 17 original songs, each one will have you tapping your feet and singing long after the musical is over for the night!” -Plainview News

“Don’t Hug Me, We’re Married” Is Loads Of Fun!” Looking for a fun evening? Go to the Lonny Chapman Theatre for The Group Rep’s world premiere musical comedy, Don’t Hug Me, We’re Married. The musical reminds me of Peter Falk’s Lt. Columbo: artless on the surface, but possessing a shrewd insight into the human condition. Make that humorous insight. Last Saturday’s audience laughed often enough to rival a sitcom soundtrack.
