CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: This funny farce has parodies of popular songs and covers the meeting of four women at a lingerie sale in Bloomingdale’s who, while fighting over a black lace bra, rant about memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, chocolate binges, wrinkles, plastic surgery, hormones, and sex, or the lack of it. The late Cindy Williams (of “Laverne & Shirley” fame), who spent three years in the cast of Menopause at Harrah’s on the Vegas strip, said the show takes a depressing subject for women and sends it up. “Everyone feels great when they’re leaving,” Williams told KLAS-TV in an interview, adding that men should see it as well. Producers describe it as “A raucous celebration of womanhood inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine.” The Boston Globe called it “A rollicking girls’ night out” and the Los Angeles Times hailed the musical as “Fresh, funny, and simply terrific.” - KCM
