In Cougar the Musical, three older women, Clarity (Brenda Braxton), Lily (Catherine Porter), and Mary-Marie (Babs Winn), set their sights on a series of younger men, Buck, Twilight Dude, Bourbon Cowboy, Eve, and Naked Peter, all played by hottie Danny Bernardy. Written and composed by former Zoom cast member Donna Moore and directed and choreographed by Tony nominee Lynn Taylor-Corbett, the show, expanded from Moore’s two-person cabaret, features such songs as “Mother’s Love,” “Let’s Talk About Me,” “On the Prowl,” and “Love Is Ageless.” To find out more about the show and its creator, read our twi-ny talk with Moore here.
