‘The Love Boat’ Stars Reunite for New Off-Broadway Play (Photos)
Several cast members from the iconic series The Love Boat recently reunited in New York City for the new Off-Broadway play called Lady Patriot. Written and directed by Love Boat‘s Ted Lange, Lady Patriot stars his former costars Fred Grandy and Jill Whelan. The play, which focuses on three women in the Confederate White House caught up in a Civil War spy hunt, is now at Theatre Row through September 20, 2025.
On opening night, they were joined by another Love Boat star, Bernie Kopell, who was there to support them. They all posed for a photo after the play and seemed to be thrilled to be together once again.

Lange shared about working with Whelan and Grandy, “I delight in working with my Love Boat cast mates, Jill and Fred. We have artistic chemistry and it is fun to see our love of theatre blossom on stage.”
Back in May, Whelan talked to PEOPLE about working with her former costars again, so many years later. She said, “It’s really special because I’m working with them as an adult now rather than as a kid. We enjoy each other’s company and we enjoy each other’s intellect — whether we have it or we don’t — but we all love each other’s sense of humor and we know each other so well. When we work together, there is a shorthand that is super satisfying.”
After the play wraps, they will be reuniting again for Princess Cruises’ ongoing The Love Boat Celebration in November. Get tickets to Lady Patriot here.
