Women have never had more fun with ‘the change’
The year isn’t the only thing that’s changing! Menopause: The Musical, the hilarious and fun celebration of women and “the change,” has returned to Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.
Written by Jeanie Linders, Menopause: The Musical is set in a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale.
Get ready to laugh along as the all-female cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women in this uplifting production which includes parodies from the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s. It culminates with a salute to women who are experiencing “the change.”
