“Love in Firenze” got is start as a musical staged reading at Colonial Little Theatre in April 2009, under the title “September Deception.”

The lighthearted musical set in the 1980s tells the story of an American family vacationing in Firenze (Florence), Italy, who each finds their own romance in the city ¬— with some surprises along the way.

At the play’s heart is an Italian opera singer and her two romantic rivals, one from the American family, the other from Firenze, vying for her affection.
There are plenty of laughs, singing and dancing, twists and turns, along with beautiful, romantic lasting ballads as the characters try to sort out a love triangle and a case of mistaken identity.
