Feels Like the First Time: The Foreigner Musical

Feels Like the First Time: The Foreigner Musical is a high-energy, heart-filled jukebox musical set in 1985 that follows three neighboring families on a quiet suburban block whose lives are anything but simple. When awkward but lovable teen Marshall Davis unexpectedly wins an MTV contest bringing rock superstar Simon Bash to his backyard, the event becomes a catalyst that shakes up the entire community. As the countdown to the concert begins, friendships are tested, relationships are redefined, and long-buried dreams resurface—all set to the iconic hits of Foreigner.

Blending comedy, romance, and emotional depth, the show explores what it means to take control of your future while honoring where you come from. From first love and identity to family struggles and second chances, each character is forced to confront the question: are you ready for your world to change? With a vibrant 80s aesthetic, a dynamic ensemble, and a score packed with timeless anthems like “Feels Like the First Time,” “Cold as Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” and “I Want to Know What Love Is,” Feels Like the First Time delivers a nostalgic yet deeply relatable story about finding your voice, taking risks, and discovering that sometimes, the biggest moments in life still have the power to feel like the first time.
