Delightful! Heartwarming! Funny! Touching! All these words apply to this documentary about the Young at Heart Chorus from Northampton, MA. Comprised of senior citizens with an average age of 80, this chorus has delighted audiences worldwide with their covers of every one from James Brown to Coldplay. The chorus was started as a collective arts project in 1982 at a center for the elderly, but they have developed into a singing group with an international reputation. The chorus has made 12 tours of Australia, Europe and Canada and has serenaded Norwegian royalty. The documentary focuses on the two-month preparations for a 2006 concert in Northhampton. A solid group of professional musicians accompany the chorus as they work to learn such songs as "Yes We Can Can," Sonic Youth’s "Schizophrenia," ; and the Coldplay ballad "Fix You." As our local critic pointed out, the lyrics of these songs bring a very different message when sung by people in their so-called golden years. For instance, "Staying Alive" and The Ramones hit "I Wanna Be Sedated" definitely take on new meaning when the Young@Heart Chorus sings them. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will be entertained. GRADE B+
