Act I: From high school prom night to several years later.

Bill is the consummate player. When he is pursued by Desiree (“The Look of Love”), he is initially attracted, but loses interest and she sings, “Does he love me, I wanna know…” (“The Shoop Shoop Song”). His reply: “Baby, baby don’t get hooked on me.”

Meanwhile, geeky Yale is secretly in love with the unattainable Hope, and he sings “I Think I Love You.” Bill starts paying attention to Hope, but she dismisses him with, “You and I travel to the beat of a different drum.” Rebuffed by Hope, Bill sees Desiree and says, “I don’t want to be lonely tonight,” and “Lady Willpower, it’s now or never, give your love to me,” to which she sings, “Should I do it should I fall?” They do it. He dumps her, and her friends warn her about the “Sweet Talkin’ Guy.”

Sean and Roberta, true lovers, sing “Ain’t Nothin’ Like the Real Thing, Baby,” while Bill tries again for Hope until they both find they are “Hooked on a Feeling” and “Dizzy.” When Sean tells his friend his Mama told him to “Shop Around” and Roberta is not happy, calling him “Mr. Big Stuff.”

Bill still can’t commit and asks his friends “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?” And he talks about being “The Wanderer,” to which the girls sing “That’s the Way Boys Are.” Sean and Roberta get married and sing “At Last.” Hope realizes Bill won’t marry her and sings “Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer.” Yale seizes the opportunity and tells Hope, “There is someone walking behind you, turn around, look at me.” As preparations for their wedding happen, Bill laments, “Girl, I heard you’re getting married… maybe it’s the best thing for you, but it’s the worst that could happen to me.” Sometime after the wedding, Bill and Hope run in to each other and realize they both have feelings but won’t act on them and sing “I Should Have Never Let You Go.” Yale joins Hope and takes her away, and they all sing “Happy Together” in a minor key.

Act II: Ten years later.

Yale is an internet mogul and has little time for Hope, who has let herself go, as they both sing “Love Will Keep Us Together.” Sean and Roberta found out marriage does not guarantee happiness and complain “We got married in a fever… We’ve been talking about Jackson, ever since the fire went out.”

Cut to Yale’s office, and we discover he’s having an affair with Desiree, who sings, “A few stolen moments is all that we share.” Yale goes home to Hope, but they both realize the love is gone as they tell each other “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.” But why has Yale left the Golden Girl for someone so needy? He explains with, “Upside, inside-out,” she’s “Livin’ the Vida Loca.”

On the other side of the stage, Sean regrets losing Roberta and begs her, “Baby Come Back,” to which she replies “Promises, Promises.” Yale also regrets hurting Hope and tells her, “You Were Always on My Mind,” while both of them explain how “I’m Workin’ My Way Back to You.”

Finally, Yale knows he can’t right this wrong and laments, “She’s Out of My Life.” Bill re-appears, wanting to win Hope back with "Isn’t She Lovely?” And he sings, “I love you in a place where there’s no space or time… and I’m singing a song for you.” Sean pleads with Roberta and tells her he loves her “More Than You’ll Ever Know.”

Hope and Roberta enter, having heard the apologies, and sing “It Takes Two.” In the end, Hope takes back Bill and Roberta welcomes Sean as they all sing, “You Make My Dreams Come True.”
