Menopause The Musical is an iconic production that has delighted audiences around the world since its debut in 2001. This hilarious show set to classic baby boomer pop songs has followed the friendship and adventures of four women navigating *the change of life*.
After over 20 years and numerous productions globally, some may wonder if this wildly popular musical is still going strong or if it has met its final curtain call. The good news is Menopause The Musical is alive and well - while the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily halted performances, this uplifting and empowering show has come roaring back much to fans' delight.

While the pandemic dealt a blow to live theatre across the board, Menopause The Musical has largely picked up where it left off with:
- Long-running residencies in major destination cities like Las Vegas and Cleveland
- Touring productions crisscrossing North America
- Local runs in regional theatres across the U.S. and Canada
The show also
continues its tradition of raising awareness and funds for women’s health organizations, partnering with high-profile groups like the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign.
Not only has Menopause The Musical bounced back strongly post-pandemic, but exciting new productions are also slated for 2023 and beyond:
- The show’s first-ever UK tour will kick off in early 2023, introducing British audiences to the laughter and empowerment of “The Change.”
- Additional North American tour stops being added, including the show’s debut run in Honolulu, Hawaii later this year.
- Planning underway for the show’s first-ever Australian production to bring kitschy fun down under.

Menopause The Musical is alive and kicking - with no signs of slowing down.
The Significance of Menopause The Musical
More than just another stage production, Menopause The Musical has come to hold deep
cultural and social significance - well beyond entertainment value. Reasons this trailblazing show continues to attract new fans and inspire new productions include:
- The show is groundbreaking in tackling a taboo topic with humor and understanding at a time when menopause was rarely discussed openly.
- It fosters education and empowerment around a shared rite of passage by spotlighting sisterhood and resilience.
- Performances raise significant funding and awareness for women’s health research and outreach programs.
- The uplifting musical numbers and laughs validate women and emphasize that life can be joyful, purposeful and fun at every age.
At its core, Menopause The Musical aims to
support, celebrate and bring women together rather than divide them. Given the rising generational consciousness and solidifying sisterhood among middle-aged and older women today, this musical’s mission to inspire confidence and community feels more relevant than ever.
The Bottom Line
Rumors of Menopause The Musical’s cancellation have been greatly exaggerated! This pioneering production has not only endured but expanded its reach after surviving the pandemic’s devastation of live theatre.
Exciting new tours and runs slated for 2023/2024 prove that the show still captivates audiences while advancing its empowering mission. So fear not - the laughter, tunes, solidarity and support of “The Change” musical are here to stay.
