Menopause, the Musical
June 9 – July 26, 2009
Four years, forty cities and six countries later, inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, this hilarious musical comedy celebrates the indomitable spirit of women living through “The Change.”  The laughs begin when four 40-something strangers, fighting over the same marked-down lingerie at Bloomingdale’s, discover they have more in common than an affinity for black lace.  Poking fun at their mood swings, memory loss, chocolate binges and night sweats, they turn Baby Boomer songs like “Puff the Magic Dragon” and “My Guy” into “Puff, my God I’m draggin’ ” and “My Thighs.”  No menopausal milestone is off limits for these cheeky ladies.  Man or woman, you’ll love this national runaway hit!
Sponsored in part by Beaufort Memorial Hospital.
