By Donna Moore

A hilarious, original, four-person (nine-character) musical about three divine but disillusioned women who set out to change their lives by becoming "cougars" and saying yes" to getting older, “yes” to trust and friendship and “yes” to embracing their lives.

​

Reviews:

“It is filled with original melodies…The script reflects considerable imagination and contains a few knowing jokes.”
– New York Times

​

“Like a woman who tries to have it all, Cougar The Musical has a lot going on. The 90-minute off-Broadway tuner is funny, raucous, sweetly sentimental and romantic. And women, mostly women of a certain age, are likely to fall under its life-affirming spell.” – NY1

Available for licensing through Concord Theatricals.
