YOU’RE NOT THE ONE FOR ME is a queer musical rom-com set against the backdrop of a Bachelor-esque reality TV show. It’s 2013. Victoria Vargas has been the host of “The One” for ten years. The show is hugely popular, with millions of viewers across the U.S. tuning in to watch one man date twenty women before finally choosing “the one” for him. Once upon a time, this was Victoria’s dream job. Now she hates it. She feels miserable and stuck, until the night before filming starts on Season 10. Up late drinking tequila at a hotel bar, she meets a woman who will change everything… a woman who, as it turns out, is actually a contestant on this season of “The One.”

YOU’RE NOT THE ONE FOR ME is funny, hopeful, sexy, and unapologetically queer. The music spans genres, with contemporary country for “The One’s” boy next door star, an indie rock edge for Carmen, and classic heartwarming theatrical pop throughout.
