HAPPY 50ish! the new musical comedy, just opened Off Broadway at The Beckett Theatre (410 West 42nd Street) on Theatre Row on Sunday, July 26th. The show, is created by Lynn Shore and written by Mr. Shore, Mark Vogel and David Burnham, with direction by Paul Stancato. HAPPY 50ish! will play a limited engagement through August 30.

Happy 50ish! is a musical comedy that revolves around Bob's surprise birthday party. As he turns the big five-0, he learns to laugh and make fun of all the things that inevitably come with age. He's arrived early for his party, his wife is running late, and there's a backyard full of party guests. While reading his birthday cards aloud, he learns that turning fifty magnifies the unintended and hilarious realities of middle age.

When creator Lynn Shore celebrated his 50th birthday with a midlife crisis, the actor, musician and author collaborated with Mark Vogel and David Burnham to write the book, music and lyrics. HAPPY 50ish! is produced by Patrick Schwier. The cast features Lynn Shore and Mark Vogel.

The playing schedule for Happy 50ish! is as follows: Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. with matinees on Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.
