THEATRE + COMEDY

Hobby Center for the Performing Arts presents Menopause The Musical, Tuesday, June 15 through Sunday, June 27, in Zilkha Hall.

Four women at a lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black-lace bra AND memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex and more! This joyful musical parody set to 25 classic baby-boomer songs from “Puff, My God I’m Draggin’” to the disco favorite “Stayin’ Awake, Stayin’ Awake” will have you cheering and dancing in the aisles! It’s definitely not “The Silent Passage” anymore!

This side-splitting hit has not only swept the nation from coast-to-coast, but has become an internationally-acclaimed production, entertaining audiences with performances in over forty cities and six countries. The Miami Herald has described Menopause The Musical as "The little revue that set the world on fire - at least that portion of the world that knows the term 'hot flash' as a reality, not a news bulletin or punch line."

It all starts with four women (a power woman, a soap star, an earth mother, and an Iowa housewife) in a NYC Bloomingdale's lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black lace bra and memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, and chocolate binges. 

˜The show's appeal transcends all socio-economic, cultural and age lines", says writer /producer Jeanie Linders. Since its first performance, the show has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who have dealt with life after 40 and all the challenges that result in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of the post WWII baby boomer generation.

"Whether the women are draped in pearls or plastic beads, they all laugh the same way."

Come enjoy a delightful evening as Menopause the Musical launches women into a celebration of a new phase of their lives.
