Following sold-out performances in NYC, LA and New Jersey, Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore bring their new musical-comedy "The Man*O*Pause Boys" back to the Triad Theater for one night only, on Wednesday, August 2.

"The Man*O*Pause Boys" takes a comical look at men adjusting to male man*o*pause. Through such songs as "My Prostate is the Size of a Buick," "I Just Took a Pill Called Viagra," "My God I Am My Father," "My Get Up and Go Just Got Up and Went," and "In Praise of the Older Woman," the production reaches the conclusion that 50 is the new funny!

The show stars Billy Van Zandt, Glenn Jones, Tom Frascatore and Jeff Babey. Music is by Wayland Pickard. Book and Lyrics are by Van Zandt & Jane Milmore.

"The Man*O*Pause Boys" sold out its initial performance at the Upper West Side venue in April. Van Zandt and Milmore are no strangers to the Triad. Their international hit comedy "You've Got Hate Mail," the story of a divorce told through emails, enjoyed a four-and-a-half-year run at the theater starting in 2010.

Van Zandt and Milmore, authors of 25 plays published worldwide with Samuel French, are best known for their Off-Broadway comedies "Silent Laughter" where they performed a silent movie live on stage; the cult murder-mystery "Drop Dead!;" the above mentioned "You've Got Hate Mail; and the summer stock perennial "Love, Sex, and the IRS." The NY Times has called them "A riot" and, of Van Zandt, NJ's Asbury Park Press said, "If you've never seen this clown at work, you should be ashamed of yourself."

Their work in television has garnered them Emmy nominations, People Choice Awards, Prism Awards, and NAACP Image Awards for such shows as "Newhart" with Bob Newhart; Suddenly Susan" with Brooke Shields; "Martin" with Martin Lawrence; "The Wayans Bros.;" and "Daddy Dearest" with Don Rickles.

Wayland Pickard is an award-winning composer and headline entertainer. A national recording artist and published playwright, Wayland is also an Ace Award nominee, Cine Golden Eagle Award winner and a Billboard Song Finalist.

Jones, Frascatore, and Babey are members of the Unofficial Van Zandt-Milmore Rep company, a group of actors and comedians that have performed the NJ-based Van Zandt-Milmore comedies for over thirty years. Beth Moore is the musical director. Choreography is by Michele Mossay. The evening is produced by Gary Shaffer and Noel Kubel.

"The Man*O*Pause Boys" plays one night only, at 7pm, Wednesday, August 2. The Triad is located at 158 West 72nd Street between Broadway and Columbus Ave. Tickets cost $25 and are available by calling 212-279-4200 or on the Triad website www.triadnyc.com/buy-tickets .
