The Welk Resort Theatre’s production of “Menopause The Musical” has earned rave reviews and has now added three more shows to its run, now playing through Sunday, June 9. Performances are Saturdays at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 1 p.m. Ticket prices for “Menopause The Musical” are $55 for performance only and $75 to include a pre-show three-course meal at the Welk Resort’s Canyon Grille Restaurant.
“Menopause The Musical” is set in a Bloomingdale’s where four women meet while shopping for a black lace bra at a lingerie sale. After noticing their similarities, they joke about and bond over their woeful hot flashes, mood swings, wrinkles, weight gain and celebrate that menopause is no longer “The Silent Passage.”
“We’re so excited to provide San Diegans with more opportunities to see this amazingly hilarious show,” said Sean Coogan, artistic director of Welk Theatre. “We have Natalie Nucci as the director and choreographer, so this is one show San Diego theatre lovers cannot miss.”
“Menopause The Musical” is the initial production of the theatre’s first full-year of shows since they closed the for lobby renovations in January of 2018 and reopened in July. The remodeled lobby features a new bar and concession area, modern lounge seating, updated box office reception area and a new tribute to Lawrence Welk’s long-spanning career.
