Love Trouble is a darkly comic fairy tale about parenthood, love, and our fear of loss. Like the previous Jones/Schreier musical, Write If You Get Work, it features a stuffed animal protagonist--in this case a bear with the language and impulses of a two-year-old. The bear's miraculous delivery, courtesy of Pizza Queen (a faux-medieval fast-food chain), at first brings a bickering couple closer together. But the wife soon succumbs to a growing dread: that the creature will run away with the Pizza Queen the moment both humans fall asleep. When, inevitably, she loses the battle to stay awake, she has a dream in which she seems to find a happy resolution, only to awaken to the realization that her worst fears have come true.
