Love Me or Leave Me combines hilarious comedy, true-to-life drama and
rousing songs with a third-act bombshell that underscores the play's themes of
responsibility and forgiveness while packing an unexpected emotional punch.
Cynthia Wyatt (Evans) is a troubled teen who abandons her fraternal twin infants,
leaving her mother (Murdock) to raise the children. Now, 20 years later, one
of the twins (Neal) is an attorney set to marry the man of her dreams (Keyes);
the other (Payne) is an unemployed man-child. Both have issues.
When Cynthia returns out of the blue, hoping to reclaim her place in their
lives, no one is spared the soul-searching that ensues. Will Cynthia be accepted
by her children and the grandmother who raised them? Will they understand why
she left? And can they ever find it in their hearts to forgive her?
