THE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY PHENOMENON ANNOUNCES NEW TOWNS AND CITIES FOLLOWING ITS JUGGERNAUT 2026 SEASON

After a juggernaut New Zealand season, the international comedy phenomenon MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL is back by popular demand, returning in 2027 for a major new tour that will bring the laughter, music and mayhem to even more towns and cities across the country.

Ladies, it’s time once again to embrace The Change with a night out packed with uncontrollable laughter, uplifting celebration and shared sisterhood as the red-hot musical comedy that has entertained more than 17 million people worldwide hits the road.

Following the phenomenal response to its 2026 New Zealand tour, MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL will return bigger than ever, revisiting some favourite destinations while taking the party to a host of new towns and cities in 2027.

Set in a department store, four women meet by chance while shopping for a black lace bra. They couldn’t be more different, but it doesn’t take long for them to discover a hilarious shared bond over memory loss, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and the many other joys of “The Change”.

What follows is a hilarious and heart-warming musical journey through menopause, friendship and everything in between — told with love, laughter and brilliantly clever parodies of some of the greatest hits of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.

The laughter-filled 90-minute production has audiences singing along, dancing in the aisles and recognising themselves — or someone they know — in every hilarious moment.

More than just a musical, MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL has become a global celebration of women, friendship and the shared experiences that bring us together. It’s a show for every woman who has experienced “The Silent Passage” — and for everyone who knows one!

MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL has entertained more than 17 million fans worldwide, been translated into nine languages and performed in more than 500 cities.

Its extraordinary and enduring appeal lies in its honesty, hilarity and heart, transforming the realities of menopause into an uplifting celebration that has women laughing, singing and dancing together around the world.

As creator Jeanie Linders famously said, the show was “inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine”. Decades later, MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL continues to enlighten, entertain and empower audiences, turning shared experiences into shared joy — and strangers into friends.

New Zealand asked for more — and MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL is answering the call.

Gather your girlfriends, sisters, mothers, daughters and partners and get ready for the ultimate girls’ night out when the international comedy sensation MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL returns to New Zealand in 2027.
