The hysterical and uplifting Menopause the Musical is heading on another sell-out New Zealand tour in 2016. Packed full of one-liners about hot flushes and memory loss backed by an instantly recognisable soundtrack of comedy parody versions of pop classics, the all-singing, all-dancing comedy is set in at a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common meet by chance at a lingerie sale.
The all-female cast of make fun of their woeful lives experiencing "The Change", forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges.
The women bond as they realise that menopause is no longer "The Silent Passage", it is an unavoidable stage in every woman's life.
Previous New Zealand tours have sold out, so don't delay, call your friends and book your tickets today.

One hound, one Holmes and the vague smell of damp fur......
The Hound of the Baskervilles is a wonderfully barking spoof!
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover in The Hound of the Baskervilles.
When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
"Unfailingly hilarious." - The Guardian
"Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!”

'Beatrix didn't want a tiara. Beatrix wanted a Beard!'
From Charles Darwin to Abraham Lincoln, Karl Marx to Mr Twit, it is said that the secret to power and greatness is all in the size and shape of the beard.

Join a madcap and hilarious musical romp as our plucky young heroine, armed with bubble bath and canned spaghetti, shakes up social rules and attempts to answer the questions that have puzzled mankind since the dawn of the beard.
