John & Jan's personal favorite, last produced in 2006, Put Another Nickel In is the third in a series of five shows being presented in this Off Broadstreet's 20th year to promote the theater's overall theme of optimism in the face of adversity; whether that adversity is a weak economy (Recession - The Musical), a discouraging turn of events (SUDS) or the effects of advancing age ("Nickel"). Mori's line in the play sums it all up: "If you want the music to keep playing, you just have to put another nickel in."

Put Another Nickel In takes place at a northern California retreat, where a young research scientist conducts a study on the psychological effects of aging. Isolated from the rest of the world, four elderly male musicians are figuratively taken back in time to 1960 in the hope that their altered mental state will somehow reverse the aging process. The men are then introduced to the "doo-wop" effect as they form a vocal harmony group. Overcoming poor eyesight, poor hearing, stiff muscles and other conditions, they eventually make plans to strike out on their own, billing themselves as "The Four Seniors." Put Another Nickel In produces lots of laughs, light-hearted life lessons and wonderful discoveries for everyone involved.

Put Another Nickel In stars OFF BROADSTREET regulars Nancy Keith, Chris Crockett, Darryl Stines, Ed Stamper and Chris LeGate and features delightful doo wop arrangements of popular 1950's songs, like Sh-Boom, Save The Last Dance For Me, In The Still of The Night, and other memorable songs by The Platters, The Coasters, The Flamingos, The Five Satins, The Ames Brothers, The Drifters, The Crewcuts, The Monotones, The Diamonds and others. Suitable for all ages, Put Another Nickel In is the breath of fresh optimism we all need this summer!
