When Two of Us Meet
Emily’s most popular musical, “When Two of Us Meet,” is a contemporary love story told through a lush, genre-blending score that moves from intimate acoustic moments to full-scale production numbers.
The musical explores themes of connection, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to truly see another person. With a book that balances humor and heart, and a score that refuses to stay in one genre, “When Two of Us Meet” represents a new voice in American musical theatre.
“A broadway-worth stage production.”
— Lisa Kradjian, PlaywrightExplore the Music
