Menopause the Musical

14th St Playhouse173 14th St, Atlanta, GA 30309 (map) 2/22/2008 - 5/11/2008

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, this hilarious musical rendition of "the change" has been entertaining and educating women from coast-to-coast for more than five years.  From the work of writer Jeanie Linders, Menopause The Musical® is a 90-minute production, which includes re-lyricized tunes from the 60's and 70's that will have women -- and men -- laughing out loud in their seats! 

Billed as "The Hilarious Celebration of Women and The Change," the show begins with four women at a Bloomingdale's lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black lace bra - so it seems.  Turns out, the "Professional Woman," the "Soap Star," the "Iowa Housewife" and the "Earth Mother" also share hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss, chocolate binges, not enough sex, too much sex and day-to-day challenges with aging parents, aging children and aging partners. 

These four women share their ups and downs through a collection of 26 re-lyricized baby boomer songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's.  Disco hit "Stayin' Alive" becomes "Stayin' Awake," Motown favorite "My Girl" is transformed into "My Thighs," "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" switches to "In the Guest Room or on the Sofa, My Husband Sleeps at night," and "Puff the Magic Dragon" becomes the anthem to exercise, "Puff My God I'm Draggin."
