LOS
ANGELES TIMES-RECOMMENDED Daryl
H. Miller "The show hits a marketing sweet
spot. It plays to the vast baby boom generation that has embraced
such shows as "Menopause" and "Boomers,"
but its appeal isn't limited to that audience. As with "Avenue
Q"...the topics here are universal."
CITY
BEAT-THEATRE
CRITIC'S CHOICE
Don Shirley "...the show's dramatic
highlight is 'Child Is Father to the Man' "... "the
gifted quintet (Eileen Barnett, David Holmes, Robert Loftin,
Diane Vincent and Robert Yacko, directed by Joel Bishoff) generates
a bumper crop of good will and laughs."
EVENT
NEWS Joseph
Sirota The pleasing musical comedy review TOO OLD
FOR THE CHORUS...works well, offering an entertaining,
yet touching look at real life issues...this show is also a lighthearted,
predominantly funny, "Review" with a very real message
-- "Hey, World, Don't Count Us Out, Yet!"

LONG BEACH
PRESS TELEGRAM A.K. Whitney "The show written
by Mark Winkler, Marie Cain and Shelly Markham, directed by Joel
Bishoff...is amusing, well-acted and occasionally poignant."
"Then there
are the heart tugging moments, such as Glenn's ode to his dogs,
past and present. David Holmes' performance on Dog Passages
made the gent in the next seat tear up."
PASADENA
STAR NEWS Frances Baum "... Too Old
for the Chorus rides far higher than any other salute to
this age group one has seen in the southland."
BACKSTAGE
WEST Les
Spindle "The performers are adept actor-dancers,
bringing energy, fun and occasional poignancy to the proceedings."
"Baby Boomers
will find resonance and uplift... in this unpretentiously enjoyable
valentine to aging contentedly."
