It takes a lot of energy to put on a 90 minute, two actor stage show of any sort. Rick Compton and Betsy Bennetti have no trouble filing this assignment with a rapid-fire parody on aging and retirement living that has Villages residents laughing out loud.
They are the originators and sole actors in “Assisted Living, the Musical” that is currently on tour in Florida
Nothing is sacred. AARP gets its comeuppance with a full broadside of flack over their continuous flow of junk mail inducements. On stage, a dollar for every time the word Viagra is used would make a cash register ka-ching crazy.
To see this funny, entertaining show, move fast. No tickets are sold at the door. The Villages Entertainment Office lists the show as sold out except for this upcoming Wednesday’s 4 and 7 p.m. shows.
Ticket prices are $35 and are available at Villages Entertainment ticket outlets.
Seating is open. Drinks can be purchased at the adjacent Tierra Del Sol restaurant bar and brought into the theater. See this show!
“Assisted Living” is satire at its best and gets an A grade for shear entertainment.
