One of the Act 1 numbers in Grumpy Old Men the Musical is titled, 'I Like The Way Things Are'. The lyrics deal with a dislike for change and a strong appreciation for 'the good old days'. This message could also extend to the musical itself. The show is based on the very funny and very popular 1993 movie of the same name starring Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, and Ann-Margret. It begs the question, why mess with success?

Going to see Broadway Palm's latest production, Grumpy Old Men, did this baby boomer's heart good. This show demonstrates that senior citizens can still fall in love and are still-gasp!-interested in sex. The seasoned performers belt out the songs and deliver the somewhat bawdy lines and gestures with impressive vigor.

Broadway Palm presents Grumpy Old Men: The Musical playing now through February 8, 2020. The musical adaptation of the popular 1993 Warner Bros. film tells the laugh-out-loud story of family, friendship, love and romance. 

VICTOR/VICTORIA's gender-bending exploration of sexual identity and orientation may have seemed fresh, even daring, in 1982, but by the time it hit Broadway in 1995 it was already a bit tame. Today in a 20th anniversary production at Maine's Ogunquit Playhouse, it feels downright quaint when compared to the courage of Caitlyn Jenner and the recent Supreme Court ruling finally making Marriage Equality the law of the land.

Highly dramatic, heart wrenching and romantic, 'Jekyll & Hyde' is the Broadway musical phenomenon that haunts patrons long after the creepy Victorian fog clears.

'Fiddler's' current touring company maintains the show's long legacy with great success. This tour boasts a polished, professional group of actors who breathe new life into the familiar story and songs.

It's certainly not the norm to see a national tour kicked off at a dinner theatre, but Prather Entertainment Group owns both Dutch Apple and the production group running this national tour of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, so the move makes sense. So does this production.
