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.

B. Smith's Restaurant welcomes Cougar the Musical to the neighborhood by adding the show's signature cocktail, "The Cougartini" to its Broadway Cocktail Menu. It was unveiled to the public on Wednesday, September 12 at B. Smith's at 320 West 46th Street. Check out photos of the cast at the event below!
