MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL To Play San Jose & San Francisco 8/18-8/27
By: Lauren Wolman
It's time to kick-up those high heels. The international hit show Menopause The Musical comes to the Bay Area and will be performing at the California Theatre in San Jose six for shows only, August 18 - 22 and at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco for five shows only, August 24 - 27, 2010.
Set in a department store, Menopause The Musical follows four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra who meet by chance at a lingerie sale. The characters laugh at 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.Starring in this off Broadway smash hit are local celebrity Megan Cavanagh, best known as "Marla Hooch" from A League of Their Own; Kimberly Ann Harris, who made her Broadway debut in The Color Purple as "Church Lady Doris"; and long time Menopause The Musical veterans Liz Hyde and Lisa Fox.
