Lyrics by Marion Adler
Libretto by Marc Jacobs
From the composer and lyricist of The Laguna Playhouse hits, Gunmetal Blues and Enter the Guardsman comes, a brand new musical about the unusual people who visit a plus-size consignment boutique and their quest for love, self-respect and the deeper meaning of wearing someone else’s clothes. Inspired by the name of an actual shop located in Northern California and its proprietor, Erna, All the More to Love attracts a loyal and diverse clientele. In this “day in the life” of the store, a shy, conservative woman blooms into a sexy siren, a steel worker finds his “feminine side,” a pair of sling back pumps seduce a repressed data analyst, a disconsolate biker chick finds herself enshrined in an impressionist masterpiece, and more. In their search for identity, transcendence and beauty, customers arrive on Erna's doorstep. With humor, a little magic and a lot of music, they all find exactly what they need.
