From the MTC website:

“What’s there to be grumpy about in Wabasha, Minnesota? There’s lots of ice, tonnes of fish and a gorgeous new neighbour for long-time rivals John and Max to fight over. Criticized by their children for not embracing change, these two aging co-curmudgeons stand firm, content to fuel the fire of their decades-long feud. But, like it or not, everything is about to change in Wabasha. A story about the true nature of friendship and an appreciation of life’s fragility, this poignant and laugh-out-loud musical stays true to the double entendres and small-town feel of the beloved feature film.”
