In October 2001, Mamma Mia! opened on Broadway, just weeks after the horrific events of 9/11, and most pundits had little inkling that the show – a jukebox musical comprised of ABBA hits and the story of a young girl trying to divine the identity of her father from among three of her mother’s suitors some 21 years earlier – would go on to become the ninth longest running musical in the history of the New York theatrical enclave. But Mamma Mia! was exactly what the theater-going public needed in the aftermath of an epoch-shattering and historic event: an enormously entertaining, fast-paced show set to an eminently hummable, danceable score of songs that could whisk them away to another time and place.

“Menopause The Musical” has opened with an expected “Hot Flash” for an eight week run at Overland Park’s New Theatre Restaurant. The jokes and song parodies are all gleefully inappropriate.

It’s the 11th of September at The Grand in Brighton, first in 1943, then 1982, and then 2001. Writer David Hendon’s choice of years is, obviously, everything but a coincidence.
