“Menopause the Musical” returns with a sequel called “Menopause the Musical 2: Cruising Through The Change.” The musical will run from Nov. 1 to 5 at the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center.
“Menopause the Musical” tells the story of four women who meet at a department store and later find out that they have much more in common through the symptoms of menopause. The sequel takes place on a cruise five years later, following the story of the four friends who set out on a journey of self-discovery.
Similar to “Menopause the Musical,” the sequel is a comedy with a soundtrack of parody hits from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.
LaDonna Burns plays Earth Mother, one of the four friends whose biggest trait is her mood swings but also being nurturing and peaceful.
“They take a cruise together and it’s the celebration of sisterhood, celebration of love, taking care of each other, and I think anyone that comes see it can recognize someone they know,” Burns said.
Burns feels the musical opens a conversation about menopause in a funny way.
“I think the goal of this production is to let women know that menopause is not the taboo topic that it used to be,” Burns said. “My character, her traits are mood swings, because she’s the Earth Mother who’s so loving and peaceful but little things just set her off and that’s just one of the menopause symptoms. Hair thinning, weight gain and not being able to lose weight. I think we tackle all those subjects in a fun way.”
Burns invites anyone to give the show a try.
“Take a chance. ninety minutes you get in and out. Is shorter than most movies, but you’re getting live performances, and we’re singing and dancing, so it’s a good time,” Burns said.
Tickets for “Menopause the Musical 2: Cruising Through The Change” are $56.07 and available through the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center website.
