This charming love story is about two lost souls buried in a cemetery who fall in love, an eccentric old man who can see and converse with the inhabitants of the graves and a delightful Jewish widow who often visits her buried husband. A crisis arises that will separate the young couple. The young man has been deemed a suicide and must be removed from consecrated ground. Only the old man can help them. A Fine and Private Place premiered to sellout crowds at the Goodspeed Opera House. It is a happy, whimsical, sentimental, up beat show which will delight audiences of all ages.

"An unconventional musical displaying originality and heart. Often-impressive work. Regionals looking for an earnest and economical musical should give this tombstone tuner an afterlife." --Variety

"Appealing! A wistful, gently eccentric musical with a ghostly glow of romance." --The New Yorker

"Engaging! Lovely songs! Musical and lyrical sophistication." --New York Post
