NEW YORK—It’s not what you’ve done in life that matters, but what you haven’t done. And thinking about the “if onlys” won’t do anything to change them. These are a couple of the several dozen homilies that appear with the frequency of candy at a children’s Halloween party in the surprisingly appealing “Two’s a Crowd.” The show may be filled with stock characters and sitcom-like situations, but it has a powerhouse cast and a seamless blending of the comedy and music genres. It’s never anything less than a total delight.

Wendy (Rita Rudner), a 59- to 63-year-old wedding planner (who keeps changing her age), has come to Las Vegas for a reset on life after her marriage of 25 years falls apart. Her plans are brought to a screeching halt when she finds, due to a software glitch, that her hotel room has been doubled booked.
