'Menopause The Musical' Partners with Natl. Breast Cancer Coalition
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
GFour Productions, winner of 54 Drama Desk Awards and 44 Tony Awards, has proudly joined forces with The National Breast Cancer Coalition. The show that has brought joy to millions of women is turning laughter into the best medicine, and will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from their Hot Flash Fans sales to NBCC in support of their mission to have a plan for ending breast cancer by 2020.
"Menopause The Musical"�is a groundbreaking celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived "The Change." Now celebrating 15 years of female empowerment through hilarious musical comedy,�"Menopause The Musical"�has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who deal with life adjustments after 40 by embracing each other and the road ahead.
Set in a department store, four women meet while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing unmistakable similarities among one another, the cast jokes about their hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and much more. These women form a sisterhood and unique bond with the entire audience as they rejoice in celebrating that menopause is no longer "The Silent Passage."
Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, "Menopause The Musical" is a celebration of women who find themselves at any stage of "The Change." The laughter-filled 90-minute production gets audience members out of their seats and singing along to parodies from classic pop songs of the '60s, '70s and '80s.
"Menopause The Musical," now in its fifteenth year of production, is recognized as the longest-running scripted production in Las Vegas and continues to entertain nightly at Harrah's Las Vegas. The hilarious musical has entertained audiences across the country in more than 450 U.S. cities, nearly 300 international cities and a total of 15 countries. Additionally, patrons can save 20 percent on tickets when using the code CURE (use MMCURE for Las Vegas shows) and GFour Productions will donate $5 of every ticket sold to NBCC.
Founded in 1991, the National Breast Cancer Coalition's (NBCC) mission is to end breast cancer through the power of action and advocacy. In 2010, NBCC set a deadline and launched a plan of action to know how to end breast cancer by January 1, 2020 -- Breast Cancer Deadline 2020�. NBCC increases federal funding for meaningful breast cancer research; monitors how research funds are spent; expands access to quality health care for all; and ensures that trained advocates influence all decision making that affects breast cancer.
