Have you thought about Norm Foster?Canada's best comedic playwright.He takes people and the way they communicate to a hilarious realistic level."The love list" is a favourite of mine.2 men are given the opportunity to create on paper, what they consider to be the perfect woman who only lives in the appartment.Of corse there is no "perfect" woman,so be careful what you wish for.

I have to agree with Red Diva & Biggertigger. To me the only thing that differs with farce & comedy. [which at times is spiolt by the sloppy romantic bit] Is that farce is comedy with it's pants down!  |

Look at Moon Over Buffalo by Ken Ludwig. We ran it 4 weeks last year to a roaring sucess. It is very fast paced, with 3 romantic conflicts that resolve sweetly and it is knee walking funny.

Still looking? If so, take a look at the newly-published Hair of the Dog by Molly McCluskey

Did you find your romantic comedy? I have one, Sunday Dinner. It has four characters and has had successful performances in Los Angeles.
If you'd like to see a copy, please let me know.

John Loves Mary
This show (non-musical) was originally produced by Rogers & Hammerstein, ran for over a year on Broadway and was released as a movie starring Ronald Reagan. The action takes place in the living room of the apartment of Senator James McKinley in the St. Regis Hotel in New York. John's life was saved by Fred while overseas. Fred returns to the States first, so John marries Fred's English girlfriend, Lily, to bring her to America for Fred. John hopes to get a quick divorce from Lily and marry Mary, who doesn't know John is married already. Things look hopeless, since Fred has already married someone else in the mean time..... until a surprise twist turns this into a happy ending proving love can be complicated and funny!
We produced this around the time of Valentines and sold the heck out of the show.

I second the vote on 'Prelude to a Kiss' -- wonderful!
'Wonderful Time', the British play (though the boy ends up with the boy)
Good luck! Jo

Don't know if you'd consider this a farce, but "The Importance of Being Earnest", Oscar Wilde, is a fun romantic comedy.....
