Nate for President

In the beginning of the third act, the main character decides that it may actually be worth having a girlfriend. Interestingly enough this realization does not come to the main character after a long monologue reflecting on loneliness, or even an upbeat dance number filled with his best friends teasing him for being without a lady on New Year’s Eve. Rather Nate decides one morning after his annual Christmas party that he should probably consider dating someone with a good memory so she can recount to him the funny things that happen while he is drunk. This reviewer questions the legitimacy of the character’s decision in relation to the plot of the story, and notes that it’s just another artistic decision by the playwright that could make this show too unrealistic to be enjoyable…by anyone.
