As introduced on NBC's "Today Show," The Kids Left. The Dog Died. Now What? is a musical comedy that salutes those valiantly struggling with divorce on their hands, gravity on their bodies, grandchildren on their self-images and the dating scene on their egos. The risks and uncertainties of being alive come alive through song and scene. Aging gracefully is the final frontier!
REVIEWS:
Boasting a four-person cast, the show takes a humorous and heartfelt look at the day-to-day concerns of the over-fifty "empty-nester" crowd including everything from retirement and AARP, dating to divorce, plastic surgery and grandparenting.
