The vaudeville-style musical revue is set in the present day at Pelican Roost, a senior living community, where eighteen colorful characters take turns giving the real scoop on life after a person's AARP membership starts. The story (what loose story there is) is framed within bookend scenes wherein a narrating couple wears halos and looks back at their many years on earth while they resided at Pelican Roost - where even the defibrillator is shaped like a pelican.
Everything Granny tells you about aging? Forget it!
From early retirement right up to the pulling of the plug, 21st Century seniors are partying like it’s 1969. Imagine: no work, no pregnancy and a full array of Medicare-subsidized pharmaceuticals. It’s the Boomer dream!
These Boomers are partying at Pelican Roost, the very active retirement community that is home to the 18-different characters played by the show’s two actors. Pelican Roost is where 70-something is the new 20-something…only with looser skin.
Assisted Living: The Musical® is for everyone who is aging, and for those who hope to. And that includes you!
