It was simply awesome
California Theatre of the Performing Arts - San Bernardino
The play was quite entertaining for both my husband and I. I don't remember laughing so hard. It really gives you an inside about a difficult time in a woman's life in a very pleasant way. The energy of the actresses was very contagious. I would recommend it to anybody. I love it!

Menopause, the Musical was very funny!!

Kept us in stitches. I didn't know that the "change" could actually be so funny. I regarded it as an educational seminar for my two daughters who attended it with me. Very entertaining. The ladies have amazing voices.

Menopause was well written.
Fox Cities PAC - Appleton
The word smithing for the songs were great. Familiar tunes re-written with words that hit home to women over the age of 45. Talented preformers with much energy and enthusiam in their roles. The musical kept you involved so that the 90 minutes flew by.

Menopause we a wonderful experience
Fox Cities PAC - Appleton
This made me laugh from the moment the girls started to the minute they ended, most of the songs I could relate to, not only me but most of the women in the audience. It was nice have that many women under one roof that could relate. I would go see it again and again. I would recommend it to everyone.

The singing was top notch!

This show was extremely funny. I very much enjoyed the music as all of the songs were familiar. Unfortunatey, or fortunately depending on your point of view, I will always remember the menopause version of the The Lion Sleeps Tonight, instead of the regular one!

Menopause the Musical was awesome
Fox Cities PAC - Appleton
This cast was simple awesome!!! They really played to the audience and played the roles beautifully. They made you feel like you were on stage with them. This is the second time I've seen this musical and this cast blows away the other, and they were excellent as well. I loved Megan Cavanagh as the the earth woman, she can pull in the audience for sure. It was a great 90 minutes of non stop laughter. Would go see it again in a heartbeat.

Menopause

I enjoyed every aspect of the play except the seats they were awful. (Should not be sold). It was painfully real but funny. The cast was reflective of the "shape" and feelings of us ladies in the menapause years. Thank you
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.
