Get ready to laugh, relate and celebrate when Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’ takes the stage at 7 p.m. Friday, March 13, 2026.

Five years after their chance encounter in a department store, audiences reunite with the beloved quartet — Earth Mother, Soap Star, Iowa Housewife and Professional Woman — as they embark on a high-seas adventure filled with hot flashes, mood swings, memory lapses, dating disasters and plenty of laughs. This hilarious and heartfelt sequel celebrates the power of friendship and reminds women everywhere that menopause is not the end — it’s the beginning of a bold new chapter.

Featuring a fresh soundtrack of toe-tapping parodies from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, the show transforms classic hits into laugh-out-loud favorites, including “Holding Out for a Hero” becoming “Holding Out for a Vino,” “That’s Amore” reimagined as “That’s Your Hormones,” and “Disco Inferno” turned into “AC Inferno.”

Directed by Seth Greenleaf, with assistant director Kim Simari and dramaturg Karie Koppel, the production builds on original characters created by Jeanie Linders, with additional book and lyrics by Karen Bishko and Jeanette Hopkins. The creative team also includes choreography by Jonathan Stahl, scenic design by Sean McClelland, sound design by David Lanza, lighting design by Jean-Yves Tessier (assisted by Willow McGuinty), and music direction by Peter Aylin. The production is represented by Columbia Artists Theatricals.
