“First Date” has a sterling cast and they all give very solid performances. The show can also be quite funny. One of the funniest moments is the song sung by Taylor Witt’s Aaron, finally reaching some closure with his ex-fiancee, Allison (Abby Middleton, who also plays Lauren). Witt’s over-the-top emotional release is just about worth the price of admission. Most of the best lines, however, are given to Carl Williams, Andres Alejandro Ponce, and Middleton. Those three know how to deliver a line.
