The international hit show Menopause The Musical®
has selected Atlanta as a ‘hot’ national market and will play the Alliance
Theatre at the Woodruff Arts Center for 7 performances, July 30 – August
4.
It doesn’t necessarily mean women in Atlanta are more prone to
symptoms of “The Change.” It does mean they will find joy in sharing
their experiences. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.WoodruffCenterTickets.org
or by calling 404.733.5000. Group discounts of 10+ are available by
calling 888-686-8587 x2.
Set in a department store, four women with seemingly
nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance at a lingerie sale. 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 as they realize that menopause is no longer “The
Silent Passage.” It is a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal.
Menopause The Musical® is produced by GFour Productions and is the work of writer
Jeanie Linders. The laughter-filled 90-minute production includes parodies from
classic pop songs of the ‘60s and ‘70s and ‘80s. It is estimated that
nearly 11 million women have attended a performance since the 2001 opening in
Orlando, Florida. Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, writer and
producer Jeanie Linders created the show as a celebration of women who are on
the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived “The Change.”
Menopause The Musical® recently celebrated its 3,000th
performance and was named the longest-running scripted production in
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. For more information, visit www.MenopauseTheMusical.com.
