weeks during 2008 to 2010, breaking box offi ce records. It will continue in 2011, touring capital city, metropolitan and regional theatre venues for more than 16 weeks. Set in a department store, four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale. They quickly bond and make fun of their hot fl ushes, memory loss, night sweats, mood swings and more. This joyful musical parody set to classic tunes from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s will have you cheering and dancing in the
aisles. Many of the audience members have come back time and time again to join in this musical, but they’ve never seen it like this before. Inspired by a hot fl ush and a bottle of wine,
playwright Jeanie Linders created Menopause The Musical as a celebration of women who were on the brink of, in the middle, or had survived, “the change”. “Most women know intuitively that every
other woman is experiencing memory loss, night sweats or hot fl ushes, but when they are in a theatre with hundreds of women – not just a few sympathetic friends – and all are laughing and shouting, ‘that’s me’, then they know what they are experiencing is normal. They aren’t crazy. It becomes a sisterhood,” Linders said. Maybe the attraction to the show is the songs that everyone grew up with – The Great Pretender, Only You, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Heat Wave, I Will Survive and more – all sung with gusto and all with their new lyrics. Or maybe it is the realisation that there is a wonderful life waiting after “the change”. Don’t miss Menopause The Musical, for two
performances only on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 6 and 7.
