Assisted Living the Musical: How the Older Half Lives!

Assisted Living the Musical is a very funny one-act musical celebration about getting old. It’s a show for all of us. It’s a show for those of a certain age, those that have parents and friends entering this phase, and for everyone that hopes to grow old with humor and dignity. It tells the story from inside the “process” by being funny yet without mocking.

Assisted Living the Musical</i is a 75-minute vaudeville-esque revue written for two actors and a pianist. The show’s host-couple enters heaven, suspecting their son pulled the plug… to get his hands on dad’s vintage Corvette. They don’t seem to mind. Instead, the couple fondly remembers Pelican Roost, an active, full-service retirement community.

There, eighteen different characters sing and dance, revel and kvetch, celebrate and bloviate their way through later life.
