GRUMPY OLD MEN: THE MUSICAL Opens 10/13 in Winnipeg

What's there to be grumpy about in Wabasha, Minnesota? There's lots of ice, tonnes of fish and a gorgeous new neighbour for long-time rivals John and Max to fight over. Criticized by their children for not embracing change, these two aging co-curmudgeons stand firm, content to fuel the fire of their decades-long feud.

But, like it or not, everything is about to change in Wabasha. A story about the true nature of friendship and an appreciation of life's fragility, this poignant and laugh-out-loud musical stays true to the double entendres and small-town feel of the beloved feature film.

"Grumpy Old Men: The Musical" has a Book by Dan Remmes, Music by Neil Berg, and Lyrics by Nick Meglin, and is being directed by Bill Castellino; the show stars 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).
