New Musical Comedy Happy 50ish to Play Off-Broadway with Lynn Shore & Mark Vogel

Lynn Shore and Mark Vogel will blow out the candles off-Broadway in Happy 50ish!, a new musical comedy the duo has created with David Burnham. Performances will run from July 15 through August 30 at the Beckett Theatre on Theatre Row. Opening night is set for July 26. Paul Stancato will direct and choreograph.

Happy 50ish! takes place during a surprise 50th birthday party for Bob. He’s early, his wife is late, and the guests are waiting outside. He reads his birthday cards aloud while realizing what’s in store for him in this new era.

Shore has appeared regionally in The Wizard of Oz, Godspell, The Sound of Music and Babes in Toyland. Vogel has composed music for numerous TV series including Full House, Delta and Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place.
