Here is a sampling of reviews from Grumpy Old Men – The Musical:
“Under Matt Lenz’s cool direction and Michele Lynch’s fast-paced choreography, the performances from the cast are wonderful. Linden has some riotous one-liners that he delivers with panache; Rigby as always is pure delight making her little country bumpkin adorable, fanciful and caring. Both Jacoby and North squabble and kvetch right into our hearts and Moniz and McEldowney make a sweet and memorable couple of the boy and girl next door variety. Page is an inspiration as Chuck.” Don Grigware – Broadway World
“A crowd-pleaser in the classic Bye Bye Birdie/Damn Yankees/Pajama Game mode but with enough contemporary sensibility to satisfy 21st-century audiences (and not just those of John and Max’s advanced years), Grumpy Old Men The Musical has exactly what it takes to become a regional theater favorite.” Steven Stanley – StageSceneLA
“For a crowd-pleaser, Grumpy is unexpectedly heartwarming, moving and at all times, highly enjoyable. It seems guaranteed to make theatergoers feel much less grumpy than when they first entered the theater and even – dare I say?” Ed Rampell – Hollywood Progressive
“GRUMPY OLD MEN is a pleasant, feel-good musical which will bring a smile to each face in the audience. Characters are sweet and lovable, and the music is upbeat and cheery.” Elaine Mura – Splash Magazine
