Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans narrates this lengthy pantomime sketch with all seven ages - from "mewling and pewking" to "sans hair, sans teeth, sans everything" - enacted by Skelton. Red mimes a baby, then goes up the ladder as Junior, the Mean Widdle Kid, followed by impressions of a young lover, a soldier, a judge, a senior citizen and an old man. Red also sings his own touching composition, "Little Boy." In a production number, the Tom Hansen Dancers and Alan Copeland Singers perform Cole Porter's "Brush Up Your Shakespeare." Interspersed, are two Silent Spots including one of a soldier musically meditating to his son in a nursery setting and another of an old man visiting Washington, D.C.
The title refers to the Seven Ages of Man that are from William Shakespeare's play 'As You Like It'.
