And, a lot has changed since the classic musical about The Change became an Off-Broadway hit in 2002. Somehow, menopause has moved from the medical margins to the mainstream, becoming the focus of memes, wellness influencers, pharmaceutical ads, HR manuals — even Congress. We talk to two cast members dialing it back to the early aughts, when Menopause the Musical first broke big at the Orlando International Fringe Festival and introduced audiences to the humor behind a hot flash. The new show runs through mid-February at Alhambra Theatre and Dining.

Guests:

• Cathy Merkel-Roddy, actor playing Soap Star
• Lisa Valdini Booth, actor playing Earth Mother
