Menopause: Musical Stops In Fort Wayne
FORT WAYNE – The international hit show “Menopause The Musical” will stop in Fort Wayne and will play The Embassy Theatre on Thursday, April 3, for one performance.
Menopause The Musical is a groundbreaking celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived, “The Change.”
Tickets can be purchased at the Embassy Theatre box office, Ticketmaster, or by calling 800-745-3000. Tickets are priced at $40 and $50, plus applicable fees.
From its first performance, “Menopause The Musical” has evolved as a “grassroots” movement of women who deal with life adjustments after 40 and all the challenges that result in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of the post-World War II baby boomer generation.
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.
The laughter-filled 90-minute production includes parodies from classic pop songs of the ‘60s ‘70s and ‘80s. It is estimated that nearly 11 million women have attended a performance since the 2001 opening in Orlando, Fla.
