GRUMPY OLD MEN The Musical Runs Sept. 21-Oct. 29

LAC_Grumpy Old MenGRUMPY OLD MEN The Musical
La Comedia Dinner Theatre
Sept. 21-Oct. 29
[Springboro]

Grumpy Old Men is the hilarious musical comedy about two aging men, Max and John – neighbors who have been feuding for most of their lives.

Invigorated by their shared affection for their new beautiful neighbor across the street, they face off as romantic rivals who will stop at nothing to win her heart.

Based on the 1993 film starring Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, and Ann-Margaret, this stage adaptation perfectly captures the lovably crotchety characters through twinkling humor, great songs, and the affectionate depiction of a small town that feels like home to everyone.
