Brooke Singer News

Based on a film starring Jack Lemmon, Walther Matthau and Ann-Margret that hit movie theaters 25 years ago, Grumpy Old Men the Musical is currently playing at the Ogunquit Playhouse in what is touted as the US premiere of the production.

Singer-songwriter Brooke Moriber today treats us to a special one-off single that is perfect for the sunny summer days. “Hello Happy” is a slice of sweet pop confection with an irrepressibly cheerful vibe befitting its title. This track was born in a Nashville songwriting session with Bill DiLuigi and Brian Desveaux (Nine Days) and completed in New York City with producer Matt Anthony (Darius Rucker, Jason Castro).

Fasten your seat belt, it's going to be a grumpy ride! The Ogunquit Playhouse is proud to produce the U.S. premiere of the new musical-comedy, Grumpy Old Men the Musical on stage from August 8 to September 1 - just in time to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the hit film that starred Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau and Ann-Margret. This hilarious new show was penned by Dan Remmes, with music by Neil Berg and lyrics by Nick Meglin. Director for the Ogunquit production of Grumpy Old Men the Musical is Matt Lenz.
