GFOUR Productions, winner of 44 Tony Awards and 54 Drama Desk Awards, proudly brings the international hit show Menopause The Musical to the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center for a limited engagement beginning Tuesday, October 23 through Sunday, October 28.
Four women meet in a department store while shopping for black lace bras at a lingerie sale. After noticing unmistakable similarities to one another's 'situations', the women compare comical (and eminently relatable) notes about their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and much more. These women form a sisterhood and unique bond they share with the entire audience as they rejoice in celebrating that menopause is no longer "The Silent Passage."
Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Menopause The Musical is a celebration of women who find themselves at any stage of "The Change." The laughter-filled 90-minute production consistently gets audience members out of their seats and singing along to parodies of classic pop songs of the '60s, '70s and '80s.
Now celebrating 17 years of female empowerment - GFour's first production of Menopause The Musical was in South Florida in 2004 - Menopause The Musical is a hilarious groundbreaking celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived "The Change." The show has evolved as a "grassroots" movement for women who deal with life adjustments after 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead.
"We are very excited to bring Menopause The Musical back to Florida - the place it all began!" says the one of the show's producers, Kathi Glist. Glist is a founding partner in GFOUR Productions. "Menopause The Musical is very much thought of as a celebration of women," she continues, "But we have consistently found that men love it just as much as the women do. We look forward to sharing the Menopause The Musical experience' with South Florida audiences again."
Menopause The Musical is recognized as the longest-running scripted production in Las Vegas and continues to entertain nightly at Harrah's Las Vegas. The show recently celebrated its 5000th performance there. The much-loved musical has entertained audiences across the country in more than 450 U.S. cities, nearly 300 international cities, and a total of 15 countries.
