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.

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.
