Kicking off the Fall 2024 New2NY Series is Now Comes the Fun Part (The How-the-f#k-did-I-get-this-old Musical), featuring a book by James Hindman and Lynne Halliday, lyrics by Mark Waldrop, and music by Jeffrey Lodin. This witty musical takes a humorous look at the unexpected challenges and realities of aging, from the first colonoscopy to navigating early retirement, empty nesting, and reentering the dating scene. It’s a celebration of life’s later stages, filled with laughs, tears, and the kind of humor that will have you chuckling—and maybe wincing—through the relatable experiences. Directed by Mark Waldrop, with music direction by Jeffrey Lodin, the show stars Aisha de Haas, George Dvorsky, Rebecca Eichenberger, and Eddie Korbich. If you can’t relate now, you soon will!
