Ladies who love life and learn to laugh at the changes it brings are celebrated in the musical parody Menopause the Musical, opening Aug. 25. Changing perspectives about the “silent passage,” this lighthearted show is staged to classic tunes from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Four women from different walks of life meet in a department store and find they have much more in common than they would have thought. This hilarious celebration of women and “the change” is on stage through Oct. 2 and is rated PG-13 for adult humor.
