A new block of tickets is now available for the hit off-Broadway show, Cougar the Musical. A perfect holiday gift, Cougar the Musical has become this season's surprise musical hit, created by Donna Moore with direction and choreography by Tony Award Nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett. Cougar the Musical began performances on August 10 and opened to rave reviews on August 26, 2012, and has opened up a new block of tickets, now on sale through March 3, 2013 at St. Luke's Theatre (308 West 46th Street), available through Telecharge.com or by calling (212) 239-6200.

Cougar the Musical welcomes Mary Mossberg to the cast who will take over the role of Lily beginning September 19, 2012.

In Cougar the Musical, book writer and lyricist Donna Moore humorously embraces the older woman-younger man dating phenomenon with the declaration that "inside the word C-O-U-R-A-G-E is Cougar," a notion that goes down as easily as the "Cougartini," the vodka and pomegranate juice cocktail the audience is served before the show. Thankfully, you don't have to be tipsy to enjoy this whimsical social commentary and musical tribute to older women and the men who love them-or who at least want to bed them.
