“Alive and Kicking” is a delight from beginning to end, offering a side-splitting yet deeply affectionate look at the lighter side of growing older.
Whether riffing on lost reading glasses or beloved bygone pastimes, the ensemble cast shines from start to finish, moving seamlessly through hilarious song-and-dance numbers while bringing charm to every moment. Creator and writer Stephan deGhelder has struck gold, mining the truth and humor in the everyday realities of aging. The dialogue sparkles, balancing absurdity and heart in equal measure, while the revue’s parodies of familiar songs guarantee laughter from the opening moments to its riotous finish.
