THE FREE LANCE-STAR
The news is looking pretty grim these days, with the exception of the pandemic-delayed Olympics (go, USA!), but the theater is a place we can go to escape for a few hours.
Riverside Center for the Performing Arts continues its run of nostalgia-heavy shows, following the recent âMarvelous Wonderettesâ that was overflowing with crowd-pleasing songs from the 1950s and â60s. For its latest production, however, the theater isnât going that far back.
âGrumpy Old Menâ is a sweet surprise for another movie-turned-musical. Based on the 1993 classic starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, the story follows two neighbors feuding over the townâs foxy newcomer as they also grapple with changing times, financial troubles andâfor one of themâa ridiculously persistent tax collector.
