Menopause the Musical to Close on April 23

After more than 1500 performances, Menopause the Musical will close on Sunday, April 23, 2006. The smash hit musical has played to more than 1 million people throughout the world and is now included in a very elite group of Off-Broadway shows. In fact, there are more productions going on worldwide than those of Stomp and Blue Man Group combined.

Now in it's fifth year off-Broadway, Menopause The Musical, at Playhouse 91 (316 East 91st Street between 1st & 2nd Avenues), has grooved its way through months of laughter, standing ovations and sold-out houses. The production continues to thrill audiences of all ages night after night with its charming and witty depiction of "The Change" and by the time the curtain falls, even has them participating.

The musical parody chronicles the meeting of four women at a lingerie sale in Bloomingdale's fighting over a black lace bra, with nothing in common… but memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, chocolate binges, wrinkles, plastic surgery, hormones, not enough sex, too much sex, and much, much more.

Menopause The Musical has criss-crossed the country on tour and in addition to New York, productions are now or have played in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Orlando, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Denver, Des Moines and Fort Lauderdale. International productions are being planned for the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey and Israel.
