What is currently on at The Shaw Theatre (V01704341023)

Menopause the Musical

T16998485
A celebration of life after 40, 50 and beyond. It all begins with four women, 'Power Woman', 'Soap Star', 'Rutland Housewife' and 'Earth Mother', at a lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black lace bra - and hot flushes, night sweats, memory loss, chocolate binges, not enough sex, too much sex and day-to-day challenges with aging parents, aging children and aging partners! A joyful parody of 25 re-lyricized classic baby boomer hits, the 90-minute show features chart-toppers including 'I Heard It Thru the Grapevine You No Longer See 39' and the Motown favourite 'My Thighs'.

User Review: 23Sep08: Best entertainment I've seen for years ! Wonderful when you are feeling a bit down.

User Review: 17Jun07: I laughed until my face ached and theb tears were rolling down my cheeks! Anyone who is going through her "change" will appreciate most, if not all, of this show. It's lighthearted and fun - not enough of that around if you ask me. Eight of us went to see the show andthought it was brilliant. The critics said it's not "theatre" - so what - it's entertaining.

User Review: 16Mar07: Saw this in Las Vegas recently. Absolutely brilliant! Looking forward to it coming to London when I am definitely going to see it again
