On Stage Tonight - "Menopause the Musical"


The (almost) week-long run of "Menopause the Musical" begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse on the campus of Marshall University. Here's what you can expect, according to press information:

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, "Menopause the Musical" is the little revue that has set the world on fire. Since 2001, the hilarious and heartwarming musical has entertained men and women from coast-to-coast and around the world.

In the hit musical, four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance in Bloomingdale's department store and soon find out lingerie isn't the only thing they share.

Audiences will laugh and cheer along with a joyful parody of 25 re-lyricized baby boomer hits including "I Heard It Thru the Grapevine You No Longer See 39" and the disco favorite "Stayin' Awake! Stayin' Awake."

So whether you are on the brink of, in the middle of, or are a survivor of, you will relate to this side-splitting musical that is a salute to women everywhere experiencing The Change.

You'll have plenty of chances to see it - here's the schedule:
Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Feb. 27-March 3, 2007 at 7:30pm
Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2007 at 2:00pm Matinee
Saturday, March 3, 2007 at 2:00pm Matinee
Sunday, March 4, 2007 at 3:00pm Matinee

I hope to get a chance to see it later this week, and I'll post a review - if someone out there sees it, send us a comment (or email me at TheMinskers@aol.com).
