See it again and again for the first time! The oldest swingers are hot to trot with a riotous show of senior moments and golden oldies. At Jurassic Park Retirement Home our motto is 'never say die' and ageing disgracefully is compulsory. Boogie to hip-replacement-hop, ride with The Leader of the Geriatric Pack, get your lippy on for grab-a-granny night! Don't forget to book! 'Audience guffawed and cheered. Hilarious!' (Age) 'Wipe away tears of laughter!' (Rainbow-Jeparit Argus) 'Crackles along like grandma's knees on a treadmill!'

Direct from a sell out season at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, as well as Sydney's Big Laugh Comedy Festival, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Victorian Seniors' Festival, Alzheimer's the Musical: A Night to Remember! is having its Northern Hemisphere debut at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The three cast members all turned 60 this year, and they're celebrating by bringing their award-winning show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! Isn't that what all sexagenarians do?

As residents of the Jurassic Park Retirement Village, these old swingers are hot-to-trot with a riotous display of senior moments in stand-up, sketch and song. Well... after they've had their nana naps. Every night will be 'grab a granny night' at the Gilded Balloon this Fringe Festival. Get down and boogie to some hip-replacement hop, enjoy vintage angst with The Leader of the Geriatric Pack, and be grateful there isn't time to shoot the nude calendar... or is there?

Starring Lyn Shakespeare, Maureen Sherlock & Carole Yelland. Written by Maureen Sherlock.
