Reilly is one hell of a singer.” MisterRomantic asks you to open your heart to the love all around you and marks a new chapter in Reilly’s acclaimed career. Mission Statement: “I looked at our weary world a few years ago and tried to think of a way I could spread love and empathy. I decided the most fun way to do that was through performing and singing and telling people I loved them. So the emotional vaudeville show MisterRomanticwas born, out of both hope and despair. What’s Not To Love? Is a collection of songs from the show with some cinematic audio weaved in. They tell the story of an eternal optimist, Mister Romantic, as he looks for love. Each song moved me enough to want to share it with people and keep each one alive by passing it on like some of my favorite singers did in their time. The lyrics all have something deeply true about them. Someone once said “It’s better to light one tiny candle than to curse the darkness.” Well, this is our little candle in the darkness. We hope it reminds people that it’s good to love. I figured it was worth a try.” John C. Reilly Mister Romantic Bio: John C.
