Victoria books menopause musical
The Victoria Theatre Association has booked a limited engagement of the musical comedy “Menopause The Musical” Sept. 14-16 in Dayton.
The 90-minute show about women at a certain stage of life ripples with parodies of top 40 and pop hits. “Stayin’ Alive” becomes “Stayin’ Awake,” “My Girl” is now “My Thighs” and “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” has become “In the Guest Room or on the Sofa, My Husband Sleeps at Night.”
The production by Jeanie Linders is set in a department store, where four women meet at a lingerie sale. The show had its premiere in 2001 in Orlando, Fla., and has since been seen by an estimated 11 million women, plus many men, in the North America and Europe.
Tickets are $32-$49 for the performances at the Victoria Theatre. Discounts are available for groups. Call (937) 228-3630 or go to www.ticketcenterstage. For more about the show, see www.menopausethemusical.com.

That’s disgusting. I hope more women are offended by it if it is only stereotypical portrayal of older women as having no sexual urges. That simply is not universally true, as many mature women are late bloomers and just discovering the deeper meaning of true intimacy as opposed to a ‘quick encounter.’

It’s often the ‘relationship’ that has stalemated and not the woman.
