Striking 12 is the story of a Grumpy Guy who decides to avoid the hectic, loveless world on New Year's Eve, until he's visited by an incandescent salesgirl with the promise to chase away his winter doldrums. Combining pop-rock, musical comedy and old-fashioned uplift with a healthy dose of 21st-century skepticism, the show features lush musical performances by pop-rock trio GrooveLily members Brendan Milburn (keyboards/ vocals), Valerie Vigoda (electric violin/vocals) and Gene Lewin (drums/vocals).
