There’s a party going on at The Beckett Theatre, and you don’t want to miss this one! Bob (Lynn Shore) is turning 50, and his best friend Mike (Mark Vogel) is in charge of the celebration. Clever lyrics, sing-along music, and a bit of crazy choreography chronicle and celebrate the challenges of aging. Nothing is off limits – urinary problems (“What The Hell Is Wrong With Me?”), colonoscopies (“Where’s That Camera Gonna Go?”), erectile dysfunction (“Too Damn Hard”) – bring ‘em on! Working together like Astaire and Rogers, they play off one another superbly. Vogel does the majority of the keyboard playing and Shore takes care of the physical antics while both provide the vocals. And a hilarious time is had by all. The audience is in on the fun, and most of the 90 minutes are spent out-and-out laughing. It may be Bob’s birthday, but HAPPY 50ish is a present you should give to yourself.
