Who Loves Me? is a fast, new, modern pop musical about coffee, obsession, the mambo, fireworks and love played out in the public eye. Who Loves Me? bounds of the stage, a story with a massive heart and a mesmerising score.
Enzo Bellini, a dying Italian cafe owner has one last wish: to see his heartbroken daughter happy again. He will do anything to make this happen before he dies…. including putting up a huge matchmaking billboard in the middle of the city, with his daughter’s face 100 times life size.
When a poetic lovestruck “mystery man” writes a gushing second billboard in reply, the hunt is on for the mystery man. “Who loves Sophia Bellini?”
It’s about her convoluted but tuneful path to real love, stopping off at embarrassing obsessions, fevered mamboing and coping with a meddling but loving father - a father who has told no one he has not long to live…
The show is set in the bustling Bellini’s cafe where anybody's business is everybody’s business. There are no secrets at Bellini’s. We meet Carmella and Madeleine the waitresses, the brooding barista Michael, the three love starved stockbrokers Curtis, Sydney and “Snort”.
The score smacks you across the ears and bounds happily from pop and soul, to big band jazz, to soft laments, Latin brass, choral vocals and straight out rhythm and blues.
Who Loves Me? is newly minted. The music and chord sheets are still strewn across the studio floor, the singers are still on the way home in the taxi. It’s new, fresh and “gobsmackingly” wonderful. Come on in, melody awaits you!… sit back, and relax, you’re amongst friends. I’ll get you a coffee to help you decide….
