Senior Moments National Tour
After two Sydney seasons, the comedy revue Senior Moments is back for its first national tour from February 2018, with the John Wood and Max Gillies now joining Benita Collings and Geoff Harvey in the senior theatrical sensation.
Return Fire Productions has announced that the comedy revue will travel to theatres in Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney and Perth from February 2018
Senior Moments is a comedy revue about old people and the young people they have to deal with, with sketches and songs and performers who are old enough to know better, all making wicked fun of the trials and tribulations of growing old disgracefully.
Gold Logie winner and veteran actor John Wood (Blue Heelers, Rafferty’s Rules) is having a season of Senior Moments in 2018. Joining him in this seriously silly show for otherwise sensible seniors will be master satirist Max Gillies (The Gillies Report, Once Were Leaders), Play School icon Benita Collings, Kim Lewis (Sons and Daughters, The Restless Years) and Russell Newman (A Country Practice, Underbelly), with Midday Show Maestro Geoff Harvey on piano.
With its cast of theatrical performers, young and veteran, Senior Moments is a funny and fresh collection of comic senior moments, scenes and songs, all guaranteed to stop you from thinking constantly about your lumbago for at least 90 minutes. Hilarious sketches and brilliantly witty songs performed by some legendary show business seniors.
Senior Moments: a seriously funny revue for slightly old people. (That’s you. Be honest.)
