“A fun, light-hearted divertissement.” – Florida Theater On Stage
“Mid-Life 2 takes the joys and concerns of growing older and makes fun of each and every one of them. And fun is the operative word here. The show itself is light and breezy, full of gentle and some very poignant comic observations.” — Greg Moody, CBS Denver
