Grumpy is as grumpy does: Seven Angels opens new musical Friday

Grumpy Old Men The Musical is a new production that will be opening at Waterbury's Seven Angels Theatre on Friday. Rob Bartlett and Gary Harger play the titular characters of the musical, which is based on the 1992 film of the same name. The musical tells the story of two grumpy neighbors who form an unlikely friendship after a series of misunderstandings and miscommunications.

Bartlett and Harger have both been involved in the world of theater for many years. Bartlett has appeared in numerous productions, including Broadway shows such as The Producers and Les Misérables. He has also worked extensively in regional theater, where he has won several awards for his performances.

Harger, on the other hand, has primarily focused on regional theater work, appearing in productions across the country. In addition to his acting career, he has also worked as a director and producer. Harger has received critical acclaim for his work, with many praising his ability to bring depth and nuance to even the most complex characters.

While Bartlett and Harger may be known for their grumpy demeanor on stage, it's worth noting that they are not actually grumpy old men in real life. Both actors are in their 50s and have been actively involved in the theater world for many years. While they may have a bit of a tough exterior, they are both respected and well-liked members of the acting community.

Overall, Grumpy Old Men The Musical promises to be an entertaining and heartwarming production that will showcase the talents of two talented actors who have been bringing joy to audiences for many years.
