Barefoot in the Park play at Taproot Theatre. Charming ode to young love, compromise, and opposites that attract ❤️… then attack 💔! The cynical Scrooge in me was secretly cheering for the pragmatic realists. Ays Garcia & Arjun Pande are fantastic newlyweds, and Alexandra Tavares steals scenes as the chic, elegant, overbearing NYC-area mother. Closes 6/20! 🎭
