We have two tickets for our contest winner to go and see the  award-winning, New York smash hit Love, Loss, and What I Wore, an intimate collection of stories by sisters Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron – who together have written some of the most iconic romantic comedies in recent memory including the screenplay You’ve Got Mail (solo successes include Nora’s Julie & Julia and Delia’s The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants).

To win, tell us which On Stage review in our Out & About section features a Toronto show about Franki Valli that recently had its one millionth visitor. Send an email to tr@tempotoronto.ca with “Love, Loss and What I Wore” in the subject line. We will draw one name at random from all qualifying entries on July 12.

Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman, as well as on the personal recollections of the Ephrons’ friends, Love, Loss, and What I Wore won the 2010 Drama Desk Award for Best Unique Theatrical Experience in May 2010 in New York.

Like the book, Love, Loss, and What I Wore is a collection of vignettes and monologues that uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to.

This exciting theatrical event will feature a cast of five that rotates in four-week cycles. The first cycle, runs July 16 through to August 7. The August cycle runs August 10-September 4.

Columnist Liz Smith said, “It’s sweet and saucy, This is an evening that goes directly to the heart, soul and vanity of every woman, young or old. The Ephron girls have touched our funny bones over the years, mended or predicted our broken hearts, commiserated over our bodies, made us laugh and get over it. Now we just have to line up at the box office.”

The New York Times wrote that the “funny, compelling” piece “brought down the house,” while Vanity Fair called it “wise and witty.” Joan Hamburg of New York’s WOR Radio raved “Get tickets! You will have such a good time! I sat there laughing my head off. It was a treat!”
