Maturing not really smoothly yields snickers at the Brunswick Little Theater in Southport.
Musical revue "Excessively Old for the Chorus yet Not Too Old To Be a Star," which goes through Dec. 11 under the course of Debbie Skillman, is an astute, comedic turn through the disappointments of developing old. Eighteen musical numbers discover characters regretting everything from menopause to missed open doors.
Be that as it may, don't forget about them. In spite of drooping bosoms, befuddling innovation and throbbing joints, these Baby Boomers aren't going down without a battle.
The story happens in a bistro called Java the Hut. When we initially meet the characters, they are stunned to find that John Travolta is on the front of the AARP magazine. Since when is John Travolta old? The whole cast then breaks into a tune called, "Like clockwork," lamenting that "at regular intervals/Another Baby Boomer turns 50."

Whatever is left of the principal demonstration is a rundown of grievances set to music. There are jokes in abundance about memory misfortune and menopause, and a rap tune about not having the capacity to stay aware of innovation. The melody "Imperceptible," strikes a piercing harmony when Geoff Gersen sings that he's get to be distinctly undetectable to the more youthful era. "We're still here," he affirms.
Thrown individuals move the "Menopause Rag," and "Slow developer's Samba." The main demonstration closes with likely the most moving tune in the show, "The Road Not Taken," in which Barbara Wood sings, "You feel the hurt for the street you didn't take."
The greatest chuckle of the show comes toward the start of Act Two as the characters make useless endeavors to strike yoga positions. Another hit is "Lunch Hour Lift," in which Karri Compton considers plastic surgery and her "hooters." "The way they're acting now," she jokes, "they're similar to workers riding the express prepare to the ground."
The show falters through odd numbers including "Pooch Passages," a reflection on life and canines, and "Tyke is Father to the Man," a nostalgic interpretation of maturing guardians. Be that as it may, things get back on track for the awakening finale. The takeaway? You're never excessively old, making it impossible to begin again.
"We're as well as could be expected ever be," the full cast sings to resonating impact. "We got potential."
