About the Show
Three men and three women make up the cast of this wacky
musical that takes a comic look at the “age old”
conditions and situations faced in MID-LIFE! From
reading glasses and mammograms to weekend warriors and
proctology exams - all are lampooned with a Saturday
Night Live non-sensibility. Everyone will relate to
this hilarious, and at times, touching musical about the
curiosities and inevitabilities of middle-age. If you
bought some Gingko-Biloba, but can’t remember where you
put it - then you’re ready for MID-LIFE!

SET REQUIREMENTS
The original production at The Chanhassen Dinner Theatres used a playing area stage level with a revolve to allow for quick set changes. The piano player sat on an upper level, which the actors could access via stairways on either side. This production also used a series of projections that transition between scenes.
