Sassy Kat Woman (Shawn) was our “Queen” and planned an exciting nite out on the town for our Kats and Kittens.  We first had a very relaxing dinner at “Hooters”, then off to TPAC to see “Menopause the Musical”. 

This hilarious show has entertained and inspired women from coast-to-coast.  The 90-minute production includes tunes from the ‘60s and ‘70s.  Songs such as “Chain of Fools,” “I Heard It Thru the Grapevine,” “Puff the Magic Dragon,” “My Guy” and “Staying Alive” take on new life with new lyrics.  These familiar ditties are transformed into “Change, change, change...change of life,” “I heard it through the grapevine; you no longer see 39,” “Puff, my God I'm draggin',” “My thighs” and “Stayin' awake.”  The loose storyline involves four women, strangers to one another, each well past 40, who meet at the lingerie table at Bloomingdale's. Fighting over the same marked-down undergarment, they start to lament about the realities of their stage of life. Then they let loose in song and dance.  The show’s intended message is that menopause is a passage. It is a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal.  

We all laughed so hard that I bet several peed in their stretch pants.  At the end of the show, several Kats and Kittens went on stage for a little group dance. This was another great experience for us to share together cha-cha-changin’ the way we look at “growing up”, realizing our strengths, and going home with “a new attitude.” 

We each got a copy of the Menopause CD to take home.  It was such fun having Lady Sue and Lady Kathy join us, please come and play with us again soon.  A huge MEOW to Sassy Kat Woman for planning such a special evening of food, fun, and fristerhood.
