The Civic Center says tickets also go on sale this Friday for the national touring production of “Menopause: The Musical,” which also will be in the theater November 5.
“Now celebrating over 20 years of female empowerment through hilarious musical comedy, Menopause The Musical® has evolved as a “grassroots” movement of women who deal with life adjustments after 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead,” said the Civic Center, in a separate news release. “Set in a department store, four women meet while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing similarities among one another, the cast jokes about their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and much more. These women form a sisterhood and unique bond with the entire audience as they rejoice in celebrating that menopause is no longer ‘The Silent Passage.’”
That production is now in its 21st year in Las Vegas.
