Critics Review

Praise for Showmance:

Showmance is the most fun you’ll have off-off-off Broadway! The zingers fly, the romance sizzles, and the dialogue sparkles like the best Dom Perignon. A novel so charming it somehow bursts into song. What more could you want? Patti Lupone? She’s in here too!”
Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Less and Less Is Lost

“No out of town tryouts needed here – Showmance is ready for the big time. Stage of Fools, the show within the novel, might open and close in one night, but Beguelin crafts a story you never want to end. Showmance sings.”
Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Celebrants

“Peppered with witty one-liners and many musical theater references, this charming, zippy romance hits all the right notes.”
Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

“Truly entertaining…with well-drawn characters and bouncy dialogue… [the] chemistry leads to a happy ending that readers—especially those who catch all the musical references—will grin over.”
—BookPage

“A sweet, romantic and very funny page-turner.”
—Paul Wontorek
