The work of writer Jeanie Linders, Menopause The Musical features 25 re-lyricized tunes from the '60's and '70's and culminates with a salute to women who are experiencing "The Change". Set in a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance, the musical pokes fun at things such as hot flashes, memory loss, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and eating binges. The show's intended message is that menopause is a passage, but it should no longer be "The Silent Passage". It is a stage in every woman's life that is perfectly normal.
