MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL Returns to Providence at THE VETS Today

The international hit show MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL is coming to The VETS for two performances only today, December 2, 2012 at 3P & 7P. The VETS is located at 1 Avenue of the Arts in downtown Providence.

MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL takes place in a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale. The all-female cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats, and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realize that menopause is no longer “The Silent Passage!” It is a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal.

MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL is produced by GFOUR Productions and written by Jeanie Linders. The laughter-filled 90-minute production includes parodies from the classics of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. It is estimated that nearly 11 million women have attended a performance since the 2001 opening in Orlando, Florida. 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.”
