So it was a no-brainer to hurry to The Other Palace to watch it come to life in a musical, with Georgina Castle (Mean Girls) and Josh St Clair (Ghost) at the helm as Lucy Whitmore and Henry Roth.
I'll admit, I was hesitant at first when Henry wasn't introduced as a marine veterinarian and, rather, a travel vlogger who found himself in Key Largo in Florida before he jets off on a European adventure of a lifetime, which soon comes to a halt when he meets Lucy.
But it works. The songs, penned by David Rossmer and Steve Rosen, are just as wholesome and charming as the love story presented to us, with even the most sceptical of audience members (like myself) are soon won over.
With their romance told through songs such as They're Not You and Good Morning, Lucy, you find yourself rooting for a pair you've only been introduced to just 30 minutes prior.
From the absolute power ballad that is Key Largo, led beautifully by Chad Saint Louis (Spring Awakening), to Aiesha Naomi Pease's performance of pretty much anything, her voice is complete euphoria.
Perfectly weaved throughout the musical is the love each and every character has for one another, whether it be romantic or platonic, or sometimes misconstrued when it comes to Henry's manager, Delilah, played hilariously by Natasha O'Brien (Mamma Mia!).
It can be difficult to hit the mark with a movie adaptation for stage, but its creation has been a long and loving road for its creators, who all speak so highly of the work they have created.
Rosen noted that the story is about "community and about the lengths people will go to in order to level the playing field for people they love who have been dealt an unfair situation", and 50 First Dates: The Musical has certainly succeeded in telling that story.
