Jeanie Linders Brings THE D* WORD - A MUSICAL World Premiere to The Abbey, 1/16

Jeanie Linders, writer/producer of the Off-Broadway hit Menopause The Musical®, is bringing the World Premiere of her new show, The D* Word – A Musical (*Ditched, Dumped, Divorced and Dating), to The Abbey in downtown Orlando for six weeks starting January 16, 2013. 

The D* Word is a 90-minute musical that follows the woes and wows of four single and single-again women who learn the art of "Happily EVEN After." The D* Word gives a voice to everyone who has ever found themselves experiencing the gamut of emotions that range from the despair of the D*ateless and D*esperate to the exhilarating freedom of D*ynamic and D*azzling.

This laugh-out-loud celebration will have guests singing and dancing along to songs including I Will Survive, Before He Cheats, Like A Virgin, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and I Wanna Dance With Somebody. The D* Word is a party show that celebrates a slice of life that has been experienced by most women (and men) around the world.

Jeanie Linders is known throughout the theatrical industry for award-winning innovations in marketing and management with her company E&M Theatrical, Inc. She is the writer/producer of the Off-Broadway hits Menopause The Musical® and Mommies Rock! In addition to The D* Word, Linders and the creative team that launched Menopause the Musical® in 2001 have a web television project in development for the United States and Australian markets to debut this fall, and will be premiering the updated Menopause The Musical Extreme for the next generation of women in Orlando, Florida, and internationally in 2014. Her foundation - the Jeanie C. Linders Fund (JCLFund.org) – as well as the shows, have been a passionate voice for empowering women in countries as diverse as Ghana, Italy, Kenya, Nepal, the U.S. and many more.
