Menopause The Musical

"Four years, forty cities and six countries after its world premiere, Menopause The Musical® celebrates its international success with a new Las Vegas cast production at the Las Vegas Hilton.

The debut of Menopause The Musical® adds to the first-class entertainment schedule at the Hilton, led by superstar Barry Manilow. The expanded roster complements the resort’s transformation through a multi-million dollar construction and renovation enhancement project completed in December 2005.

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Writer/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.” Since its first performance, the show has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who deal with life after 40 and all the challenges that result in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of the post-World War II baby boomer generation.

According to The New York Times, “[Menopause The Musical] has no trouble winning over its audience…because elsewhere the subject is almost never treated with humor from the woman’s point of view.”

when: Shows Satuday 4 & 7, Sunday 6, M, T, Th, F at 7.

where: Shimmer Cabaret at the Las Vegas Hilton, 3000 Paradise Road

tickets: $59.45

"Good at What it Does"

Review by Mike Weatherford of the Las Vegas Review-Journal

"Campy Cabaret: 'Menopause The Musical' good at what it does
.......
Four women meet fighting over sale bras at Bloomingdale's, setting up a day of support and sisterhood in various departments of the store. The four are such archetypes they don't even need names. Along with the Soap Star -- who reads in the gossip columns she's about to be retired -- there's the pantsuited Professional Woman (Susan Beubian), the Birkenstock Earth Mother (Cheryl Spencer) and the Lucy-meets-Edith Bunker Iowa Housewife (Laura Lee O'Connell at this performance, but now out in a road company. Annette Houlihan Verdolino is now in the part).

The songs are familiar even if the lyrics aren't. Writer/producer Jeanie Linders goes for MAD magazine song parody using baby boomer classics. "Chain of Fools" becomes "Change of Life." "Stayin' Alive" becomes "Stayin' Awake" and "Night Fever" is "Night Sweatin'."
.....
The consolidated cast of Broadway veterans does manage to keep the silliness grounded, and at times inject just a wee touch of reality. But reality isn't the goal. Affirmation is."
