Old Age

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2009)

I actually enjoyed the play. Worked great on the stage.
However, I could not help but be struck by the fact that according to the premise of the plot, Meryl Streep was old enough to be the girl's Grandmother. She was 59, for crying out loud, and the women playing her friends were not much younger. Since singing was not a big criterion for the lead parts, how about Mariska Hargitay, Gillian Anderson, or Jennifer Anniston? Want singers? Jennifer Lopez or Vanessa Williams. Or, go to the women who played the role on Broadway or in the road shows.
The men were no better, in their mid to late fifties, and they all looked every day of their ages.
Very painful to watch.
