MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL Comes to Broadway Palm, 4/11-5/18

Broadway Palm presents Menopause the Musical, playing April 11 through May 18, 2013. This international phenomenon has been seen by more than eleven million people in eleven countries since it debuted in a 76-seat perfume-shop-turned-theatre in Orlando, Florida in 2001.

Four women at a Bloomingdale's lingerie sale have nothing in common except a black lace bra...AND memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex, chocolate binges, day-to-day challenges with aging parents, aging children and aging partners. They share their ups and downs through a collection of 26 re-lyricized baby boomer songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The Disco hit Stayin' Alive becomes Stayin' Awake, Motown favorite My Girl is transformed into My Thighs and The Lion Sleeps Tonight switches to In the Guest Room or on the Sofa, My Husband Sleeps At Night!

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, writer and producer Jeanie Linders created the show as a celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived "The Change." From its first performance, the show has evolved as a "grass-roots" movement of women who deal with life after 40 and all the challenges that result in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of the baby boomer generation.
Menopause the Musical will be at Broadway Palm from April 11 through May 18, 2013. Performances are Tuesday through Sunday with selected matinees. Be sure to check out the all-new, upscale dinner theatre experience on Saturday nights. Ticket prices range from $35 to $55 with discounts available for children and groups of 20 or more.
