Menopause The Musical is a groundbreaking celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived "The Change." Now celebrating 16 years of female empowerment through hilarious musical comedy, Menopause The Musical has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who deal with life adjustments after 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead.

Set in a department store, four women meet while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing unmistakable similarities among one another, the cast jokes about their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and much more. These women form a sisterhood and unique bond with the entire audience as they rejoice in celebrating that menopause is no longer "The Silent Passage."

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Menopause The Musical is a celebration of women who find themselves at any stage of "The Change." The laughter-filled 90-minute production gets audience members out of their seats and singing along to parodies from classic pop songs of the '60s, '70s and '80s.

St. Louis critics agree this show is a hit! "...an easy-going, fun-loving romp!" hailed Mark Bretz of the Ladue News. And, Tina Farmer of KDHX Radio raved, "A perfect choice for a girl's night out...a clever parody, handled with a light touch and sassy, oh snap attitude that's certain to bring the laughs!" Menopause The Musical, now in its 16th year of production, is recognized as the longest-running scripted production in Las Vegas and continues to entertain nightly at Harrah's Las Vegas. The hilarious musical has entertained audiences across the country in more than 450 U.S. cities, nearly 300 international cities and a total of 15 countries.
