About the Show:

In contemporary China, a happily married woman hires another woman to cosplay a fantasy boyfriend from a video game — and goes on real-life dates with him. What begins as a private indulgence launches her into an unexpected journey of self-discovery, as she questions her sexuality, her marriage, and what she truly desires. Man of My Dreams is a warm, witty, and deeply human new musical about identity, intimacy, and the courage it takes to ask for what you want.

Man of My Dreams is made possible in part with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.
