Women, Women, Women, they rule the show. Do not under estimate the allure of a black lace bra.
Whilst fighting for the same bra in a store, four women from different walks of life, a Professional, a Housewife, a Hippie Earth Mother and a Soap Star, manage to engage in a conversation-turned-musical revolving around menopause.
It becomes a session filled with wild womanly fun, as they tackle issues like hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss, chocolate binges, sex and performs a series of parody of top hits from memory lane. Think “Stayin’ Awake! Stayin’ Awake!” inspired by the disco-favourite, “ Stayin’ Alive”.
The concept the musical hopes to bring across is, ‘celebrating the change’, which writer and producer Jeanie C. Linders created after being inspired by a hot flash and a glass of wine.
Ladies, walk out of the theatre feeling energised and ready to rock your life, with or without menopause.
