Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through Menopause UK Tour has been announced

This is a hysterical sequel to the smash-hit show Menopause the Musical®, Cruising Through Menopause!

In the hysterical sequel to the smash-hit Menopause The Musical®, we fast forward five years to catch up with the same four characters for tales of their lives, loves and losses as they set off on the high seas.

The first show, Menopause the Musical, premiered in March 2001 in Orlando, Florida, in a 76-seat theatre that once housed a perfume shop. The backdrop was a Bloomingdale's lingerie sale where the cast of four women meet with nothing in common but a black lace bra  – and chocolate binges, loss of memory, hot flushes, night sweats, and sexual predicaments.

They sang parodied versions of 25 classic songs such as “Stayin' Awake”, “I Heard It Thru The Grapevine You No Longer See 39”, “Puff, My God I'm Draggin'” and “My Husband Sleeps Tonight”.

Within a few years, international productions became commonplace and across the world over twelve million people (nearly all women) have seen the show.

Although Menopause The Musical 2 is a sequel, the show stands alone. It premiered in 2020 but was closed by lockdown after only a few performances. It got outstanding reviews, and a very loyal audience has been patiently waiting for the show to go back on tour.

Cruising Through Menopause is a hilarious, heartfelt, reassuring and unflinching look at the joys of menopause and friendship. When your life is a bumpy ride full of twists and turns, it’s hard to find true friends.

But step on board and we’ll take you on a trip of self-discovery, love and friendship all backed by a soundtrack of brand-new toe-tapping parodied hits!

For these four ladies the menopause was not the beginning of the end, but the beginning of a beautiful friendship where love conquers, and friendships never fail.

Further details are yet to be announced.
