MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL® AT LAS VEGAS HILTON PERFORMS 1,000TH SHOW ON SATURDAY
LAS VEGAS— Menopause The Musical®, which debuted at the Las Vegas Hilton on February 1, 2006 after playing in forty cities and six countries, will celebrate its 1,000th show on Saturday during the 7 p.m. performance.
The Las Vegas production became an immediate hit, selling out nightly and adding an additional cast to handle increased demand for shows.
Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Writer/Producer 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.” Since its first performance, the show has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who deal with life after 40 and all the challenges that result in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of the post-World War II baby boomer generation.
“Menopause The Musical® is an integral part of the entertainment here at the Las Vegas Hilton,” said Ken Ciancimino, executive vice president of the classic resort. “The show transcends gender, touching on something profoundly human and making it entertaining.”
The debut of Menopause The Musical® in 2006 added to the first-class entertainment schedule at the Hilton, led by superstar Barry Manilow. The expanded roster complemented the resort’s transformation through a $100 million construction and renovation project.
Showtimes for Menopause The Musical® in the Las Vegas Hilton’s Shimmer Cabaret are Mon. & Tues., Thurs. & Fri. 7:00 p.m., Wed. 2:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m., Sat. & Sun 4:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $49.50 (plus tax and service charge) and can be purchased at the Las Vegas Hilton box office or by visiting www.lvhilton.com or calling 702-732-5755 or 1-800-222-5361.
