Menopause, the Musical
California Theatre of the Performing Arts - San Bernardino
This was the second time I have seen this musical. It is a laugh all the way! It is so enjoyable and uplifting. The time flies by. Extremely enjoyable way to spend an afternoon or evening. The ladies are great! I would go again and again. It is a down to life play of real life. A musical play for women and their significant other. Please go see it. Old time songs with different words...you will recognize them...so funny!

Menopause was hysterical

Menopause the Musical is the most fun my daughter and I have ever experienced together. We laughed so hard that the tears flowed. It is a play you can see more than once and still laugh yourself silly.

Defintely a Must to See - Menopause the Musical
Fox Cities PAC - Appleton
This production is one that everyone should see - its not just for those of us over 50 - the words to the songs were hilarious along with being songs we all remembered. All four women played their parts so very well. that everyone could relate to scenes. Seeing the fun in the audiences faces was worth the price of the ticket and the laughter during and after made the night a great one. I would definitely go and see this musical again because I would think that each time you see it you would relate with another of the characters.

Menopause...how refreshing
California Theatre of the Performing Arts - San Bernardino
This musical was a great evening of laughter and female bonding. Even the few guys there seemed to relate through the women in their lives. I loved the familiar tunes with the amusing lyrics.

We enjoyed Menopause, the Musical. There were eight of us that went to the show and every one of us loved it! We all laughed so hard as we could all relate to each and every song!

Menopause, the Musical was hilarious!
Fox Cities PAC - Appleton
Each of the four characters was top-notch. One by one, the person I was watching was my favorite at that time. By the end of the show it was hard to pick a favorite because they were all outstanding in their own way. Each voice was excellent and the harmony was right on. The songs (parodies) took me back a few decades, but the new words had me rolling on the floor laughing. And, as a 50+ woman, I (and my friends) could definitely relate to the many situations our "sisters" found themselves in as a result of "the change" that unites us.
Menopause The Musical on Tour
There are ch-ch-changes of life aplenty in Menopause The Musical, the hit Off-Broadway production (2002-06) that has sold more than 15 million tickets since its 2001 debut. Written by Jeanie Linders, Menopause rejiggers two dozen hit songs from the ‘50s through the '80s to talk to women — and the men who love but may not completely understand them — about food cravings, hot flashes, memory lapses, night sweats, the lure of cosmetic surgery and other common responses to the natural aging process. The longest-running scripted musical in Las Vegas history, Menopause is playing at Harrah's Cabaret and around North America on the latest legs of a tour that has included some 500 cities worldwide. Call its appeal "half-universal" and join Menopause's celebration — with laughter and sisterhood — of something every woman may eventually experience.
About Menopause The Musical
A Professional Woman, an Earth Mother, an Iowa Housewife and a Soap Star meet in Bloomingdale's lingerie department. So begins Menopause The Musical, which quickly amps up into a series of rollicking rewrites of familiar pop hits: "Chain of Fools" becomes "Change of Life," "Staying Alive" becomes "Staying Awake," "Night Fever" become "Night Sweating" and "My Guy" becomes "My Thighs." The music is nostalgic and the wordplay never less than clever. ''Nothing I can do 'cause it sticks like glue — to my thighs,'' sings the Iowa Housewife. ''No matter what I eat, there's always cellulite — on my thighs.''
While the four women come from vastly different backgrounds, they share a single inescapable characteristic: All are going through menopause. In addition to common observations on appetites ("Looking for Food in All the Wrong Places") and energy lapses ("Puff, My God I'm Draggin'"), Menopause goes there with slightly edgy observations on vibrators ("Only You") and antidepressants ("My doctor prescribed a pill to control my urge to kill").
Menopause The Musical provides a rare opportunity to see older female actors in starring roles discussing menopause publicly. It also recognizes, represents and celebrates female audience members as never before, and that's one change long overdue.
