When this gleefully malicious comedy about New York society matrons premiered on Broadway, audiences were shocked, outraged and delighted. Featuring an all-female cast and some of the funniest dialogue ever written for the American stage, The Women offers a fascinating inside look at the catty world of Park Avenue society. This deliciously nasty tale of a woman whose happy marriage is destroyed by the gossip of her friends has been called one of the great American plays of the 20th century.
Start with four richly gifted singer-songwriters, add 3/4 cup married life, four kids, three cats, one piano, four guitars, one rocking' purple bass, a dollop of sharp social commentary, and a pinch of PMS. Set this on the road to tour for nearly 20 years, throw in a hot flash or two, and you've got Hormonal Imbalance...A Mood Swinging Musical Revue!, an estrogen-fueled, hilarious show that celebrates the best of babes, boys, and botox, starring The Four Bitchin' Babes.

'A tremendous, yet simple, dramatic experience. This is a moving play about the tension between men and women: the essential misunderstandings and the necessary needs. It contrasts the power of sexuality with the power of peace. And neither wins.'
- Clive Barnes, The New York Times, 1973
