Josie Loza: We have a ‘Menopause The Musical’ grand-prize winner!
Josie Loza Omaha World-Herald

Today, we’re discussing ‘Menopause‘ — the musical, that is.

The April 10 and 11 shows at the Omaha Music Hall, 1804 Capitol Ave, are the perfect “Girls Night Out” event. The laughter-filled 90-minute production is inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, writer Jeanie Linders created the show as a celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived “The Change.”

It is estimated that nearly 11 million women have attended a performance since the 2001 opening in Orlando, Florida.

We asked readers to share their most embarrasing menopausal moment. And, boy, did they.

Congrats to Mandy Jensen of Omaha for winning momaha’s ‘Menopause The Musical’ ticket package and menopuase kit and cast meet-and-greet.
