Ladies! It’s time to embrace “The Change” with a night out, full of uncontrollable laughter, uplifting celebration and shared sisterhood!
Inspired by a hot flush and a bottle of wine, the global smash hit, Menopause The Musical®, is back in a brand-new production – Now playing at Sydney’s State Theatre until 5 October.
Lighting up the stage are four queens of Australian musical theatre! Tara Morice, star of the iconic film Strictly Ballroom; the glamorous Erika Heynatz, best known for hosting Australia’s Next Top Model and her role on Home and Away; and powerhouse performers Melissa Langton (Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar) and Cherine Peck (Mary Poppins, The Lion King).
Featuring parodied hits from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s – including I Will Survive, Hot Stuff, What’s Love Got to Do With It, and We Are Family – four women tell it like it is – from hormonal heatwaves and memory meltdowns to midnight sweats and a sex life stuck somewhere between “not now” and “again already?”.
Grab your girlfriends and get ready to laugh, relate and feel the joy of being understood. It’s a night of feel-good hits, hilarious truths and a whole lot of heart. See what millions of women (and brave men) have been laughing about for over 25 years!
