GREAT BALL ON STAGE
Nothing is too sensitive for Menopause the Musical... Everything and I mean everything – hot flushes (er, flashes), night sweating, insomnia, weight gain, food cravings, cellulite, mood swings, plummeting sex drive – everything is laid out in the open and celebrated to great fun and in-your-face humour. It is this directness and refreshing honesty that makes this musical a must-see experience + more

CANDID LOOK AT GROWING OLDER
hilarious… Pammie O’Bannon was adorable… Shelley Browne… terrific… audience was in gales of laughter… singing was good to excellent. Shelley threw her voice effortlessly… musical back-up was first rate… audience in stitches… Worth seeing? Definitely + more

12/07/2004 The Edge
talented Shelley Browne… hilarious… had the audience roaring with approval… the substance is in the actresses, who are refreshingly middle-aged, none-too-svelte and very real…

11/07/2004 Sunday Mail
Great acting, great singing, fun dancing… Clever lighting…
