Composer: Neil Berg
Author: Dan Remmes
Lyricist: Nick Meglin
Director: Glen Casale

Grumpy Old Men is the story of two aging men, Max and John, neighbors, who have been feuding for most of their lives. They are re-united in friendship through the love and compassion of their new neighbor across the street, the beautiful, eccentric, and charming Ariel. The 1993 film, which starred Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, and Ann-Margret was presented by Warner Bros., and written by Mark Steven Johnson (Grumpier Old Men, Daredevil, Simon Birch, Ghostrider). It proved itself popular enough with the public to warrant a sequel, Grumpier Old Men (1995), which added Sophia Loren to the celebrated cast.

LATEST NEWS: GRUMPY OLD MEN played in Fall 2011 at the Royal Manitoba Theater Center in Winnipeg, Canada. The production starred Conrad John Schuck (MASH, McMillan & Wife, Star Trek), John Rubenstein (Pippin, Children of a Lesser God), and Susan Anton (The Will Rogers Follies, Radio City Music Hall Spectacular at the Flamingo Hilton, Baywatch). Grumpy Old Men has been picked up by AWA Touring, the touring arm of Alan Wasser Associates, which is looking to begin touring the show next season. www.awatouring.com.

Hexed in the City

Music by Neil Berg
Book by Tom Mills
Lyrics by Neil Berg & Tom Mills

Great romances and great musicals go hand-in-hand: Boy meets Girl, Boy loves Girl, Boy loses Girl, antics ensue and a big, emotional, happy (sometimes) ending follows. But what if the Girl is actually a Witch? That means the age-old story gets turned inside out and upside down! Witches aren't permitted to love and Boy doesn't even like Girl. The only sure thing is that antics definitely ensue. It's love versus magic and all bets are off.
