Stage Review - “Menopause: The Musical”
Now normally I wouldn’t pick this type of musical to go to, but I found myself laughing out loud along with the other audience members in this charming stage romp. If you have your parents in town for a visit, this would be the musical I would suggest you take them to.
“Menopause” showcases the day in the life of 4 shopping ladies who are all going through “the change”. Now surely I couldn’t relate, but I was caught up in the silly storytelling and catchy musical parodies. There are lots of send ups of your favorite 50’s, 60’s and 70’s tunes with funny new lyrics expressing the hell that is “menopause”.
I had a fun time with the folks when watching this musical, and really isn’t that all you can ask for? “Menopause” delivered with it’s witty lyrical parodies, simple set design and under an hour and a half running time. It was worth the trip down to the hectic “Fisherman’s Wharf” area of San Francisco.
If you are looking to please the parents, and get some genuine laughs in at the same time than this holiday season go see “Menopause: The Musical”. Your folks will get a kick out of it and you’ll have a good time.
