Menopause the Musical, Albert Halls, Stirling
the hysterical Menopause The Musical has entertained and inspired women across the world since 2001. Menopausal or just in need of a laugh out loud kind of night, this show is a must-see for all women.
This hilarious celebration of women and ‘the change’, is an all-singing, all-dancing comedy bringing together four women at a department store sale, who on first appearance have nothing in common.
Cheryl, who is on her second tour of the show, can’t wait to get started. She said: “This show simply had to be made. It tells you it’s okay to talk about the subject and I’m delighted because I’m going through the menopause myself at the moment. You see, until you do you have no idea it’s such a big thing.”
Cheryl added, grinning: “Suddenly I’m sprouting a moustache. I could do Movember! I’ve never been one for creams, but I’m looking at them now and thinking ‘is this going to make me firmer? Is this going to take my beard off?’
“There are songs about getting older and the inevitability of your body shape changing. Yes, it’s getting rounder. And I love the fact this show reminds everyone that the menopause makes you emotional. I’m not an emotional person but now I am tearing up, all the time, over nothing at all.”
Maureen is just as enthusiastic about the show. “The timing is great for this show,” she said. “Women just seemed to be desperate for a great night out. Menopause The Musical entertains with 23 songs such as I Will Survive, but re-written with comedy lyrics.
“And it doesn’t make light of the menopause, rather it shows you can tackle the raging hot sweats with humour and honesty. I certainly don’t mind anyone knowing I have to have fans in my dressing room, even when it’s cold.
“But what’s really great about this show is that women come up to you and say ‘thank you for making it okay to be over fifty.’”
Tickets for the show are on sale now.
