Now On Stage
Menopause The Musical
The Hilarious Celebration of Women and The Change!
You loved it in 2007, filling the theatre to the brim at every performance, so we've brought it back for those who missed it and for those who want to cheer at the sheer joy of it all!
... and men love it! They get dragged in, but once they're in, they love it. "I have yet to have a man leave the show before it was over or leave it because he didn't like it." Jeanie Linders, author
Show Description
Brought to you by Pieter Toerien and Hazel Feldman.
Book and lyrics by Jeanie Linders, inspired by her own hot flush and a bottle of wine!
Since it's first performance in a tiny perfume-shop-turned theatre in Orlando, Florida in 2001, a whopping six and a half million women have seen this gloriously funny musical – a joyful, unabashed parody of 25 classic Baby Boomer hits from the 60s and 70s.
Four women at a department store lingerie sale have nothing in common but a black lace bra … oh, and hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss, weight gain, chocolate binges, wrinkles, mood swings, not enough sex – and too much sex!
"Chain of Fools", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine”, “Puff The Magic Dragon”, “Good Vibrations”, “My Guy” and “Staying Alive” will never be the same again! Menopause the Musical will have you laughing, dancing, singing along and cheering in sheer delight at the show’s unbridled sass and attitude! … and even the men will love it!
