‘Grumpy Old Women Live’ was a stage presentation that is based on the ‘Grumpy Old Women’ series, which is aired on BBC cable television. It is a stage show about women grumbling about modern styles of living, with an added twist of comedy drama. It presents a great selection of distinguished female performers dealing with moments in life and all its silliness, and their concern of growing old.
‘Grumpy Old Women’ has been a successful programme on TV. The show was cast with great performers. The current members of ‘Grumpy Old Women’ are Dillie Keane, Jenny Éclair, and Linda Robson. The previous members of the cast were Annette Badland, Denise Black, Britt Ekland and Rhona Cameron.
In the 2005 spring season, the idea of the ‘Grumpy Old Women Live’ show came about because of the success of the ‘Grumpy Old Women’ TV shows. It was produced by Judith Holder together with her co-writer and contributor Jenny Éclair. In the autumn 2005 season, they began rehearsals. The original production of the show was under the direction of Chris George. The show and the mini-tour that was conducted in November 2005 was a success. Their international tour in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth was also successful. This showed without a doubt that ‘Grumpy Old Women’ is a worldwide phenomenon.
The show described by ‘The Times’ as a slickly scripted night of comedy. The success of ‘Grumpy Old Women’ in the television show format and on stage proved one thing: ‘Grumpy Old Women’ is a global phenomenon that really speaks to the taste of every woman.
