Written by Jeanie Linders, Menopause the Musical is a hilarious show that celebrates women and shows the experiences of women in their 40s and 50s. The musical is filled with hilarious one-liners about having hot flushes, night sweats and mood changes. A group of four women, who at the first sight might have nothing in common, meet randomly in a department store and decide to bond against the negatives of going through “The Change”. They realize that it’s better to accept the fact that every woman goes through these kinds of things and that laughing about it makes life easier and more exciting.
