Nobody Loves You
Event WebsiteAbout
The game of love is on! “Nobody Loves You” is a wildly popular reality dating show in which eager contestants compete for love (and social media stardom). When Jeff, a philosophy grad student, snags a spot on the show to win back his ex, he breaks all the rules and tries to blow the game wide open. That is, until he falls for Jenny, an enticingly prickly “Nobody Loves You” producer who yearns to make Serious Films. In a world where every kiss comes at the end of a selfie stick, can two people really connect?
SF/Arts Curator Insight
The title of this musical by Itamar Moses (best known for “The Band’s Visit”) and Gaby Alter refers to a dating show in which the contestants compete for, well, amour. Described as a “behind-the-scenes ride through reality television,” the musical comedy premiered at the Old Globe in 2012. Now, artistic director Pam MacKinnon directs an American Conservatory Theater cast of eight.
