Regretting Almost Everything is an intimate, two-person musical comedy about a middle-aged woman who loves her husband and kids and likes her job but, facing another 30 years yet to live, realizes she wants — no, needs — more, more passion in her marriage and excitement in her life, and sets out on a quest to get it.
