Yes, it is sort of weird to see a senior Danny and Sandy but what the heck? It gets people out of the house and enjoying something other than watching TV. Believe me, I know what great theater is. Hubby and I lived in the NY area many years and we went to many Broadway theater productions, mostly musicals. I still enjoy the pro am productions here in The Villages. That is what is so wonderful about this place, if you don't want to partake.......you don't have to.
Personally, I LIKE the twirlers and the cheerleaders. I give them a lot of credit. They don't seem 'FOOLISH" to me. I think that the golfers that think that they are GREAT athletes crack me up. Some are serious as a "heart attack" - I guess that that expression is NOT as funny as it was when I was 25.
