Menopause the Musical Receives “Very Warm” Reception in Evansville

0

Evansville, IN – Judging from the waves of laughter emanating from inside the Victory Theatre on Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, Menopause the Musical was a roaring success in Evansville. The long-running touring
show made a two night stop at the Victory on October 16th and 17th.

The show features a cast of four women, all of a “certain age,” who meet while shopping for lingerie at
Bloomingdale’s and spend 90 minutes belting out parodies of popular music from the ‘60s and ‘70s. The lyrics
are given a humorous twist, with their subjects becoming hot flashes, body image, family issues, sex, and more.
The largely female audience showed their enthusiastic appreciation as they identified with the various
predicaments addressed by cast members Sandra Benton (Professional Woman), Megan Cavanagh (Earth
Mother), Pattie Gardner (Soap Star) and Sandy DeWoody (Iowa Housewife).

“The acoustics and atmosphere in this historic theatre really showcase musical productions such as this one,”
stated Victory Theatre General Manager Ben Bolander. “I’m excited about our plans to provide a diverse
selection of entertainment options that will bring even more area residents to downtown Evansville.”

The Victory Theatre is managed by VenuWorks of Evansville, LLC.
