Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical

By Bob & Jim Walton

Directed by Tim Olmstead

Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical takes a comic romp through life’s experiences as we slip slide toward being a senior citizen. The tour-de-farce humor sets us up to go laughing all the way through conditions and situations faced in Mid-Life! From reading glasses and mammograms to weekend warriors and the trials and tribulations and oddities of middle age all are the reality of mid-life. This show reflects them as something other than depression and grey hair through taking a comic look at the lighter side of what is often seen as a sensitive subject. The show begins with Turning Forty. There are skits about women racing to beat their biological clock, dealing with an empty nest, invasive medical procedures, finding that the life where red convertibles and reading glasses are accompanied by divorce papers, and proctology exams. Everyone will relate to this hilarious, and at times, touching musical about the curiosities and inevitabilities of middle age. (Not recommended for younger audiences!)
