GFour Productions presents MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL®: THE SURVIVOR TOUR® BENEFITING SUSAN G. KOMEN®

GFour Productions, winner of 44 Tony Awards and 54 Drama Desk Awards, has proudly joined forces with Susan G. Komen® to launch Menopause The Musical®: The Survivor Tour® benefiting Susan G. Komen® in the fall of 2015. The show that has brought joy to millions of women is turning laughter into the best medicine. With a cast of breast cancer survivors and co-survivors, Menopause The Musical and Komen partner to offer inspiration, sisterhood and hope. During the month of October, designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Survivor Tour® will come to 14 cities across the country and will donate no less than $2 per ticket sold to Komen to further its mission to save lives and end breast cancer.

The tour will also be on the road during World Menopause Day on Sunday, October 18 with a performance in Hartford, Ct.

The Survivor Tour® is proud to fundraise for Komen, which since 1982 has invested more than $2.6 billion in research, screening, treatment, education and support programs for people affected by breast cancer.

“Menopause The Musical has lifted the spirits of more than 11 million people worldwide, and we are thrilled to be part of this extraordinary mission with GFour and a cast that represents the more than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.,” said Komen President and CEO Judy Salerno, M.D., M.S. “Their support makes a difference in the lives of women and men, and helps us move closer to our vision of a world without breast cancer.”

For more than a decade, Menopause The Musical has worked to inspire and support women dealing with life after “The Change.” “Menopause has always been a cause-based show,” said Menopause The Musical Director Seth Greenleaf. “The cause was helping women see that what they are experiencing is perfectly normal, and that they are not alone. The Susan G. Komen® partnership increases the importance of our purpose because now we’re not just talking about life affirming, but life saving.  We’re deeply proud to be a part of this effort.”

The Survivor Tour cast includes breast cancer co-survivor Linda Boston (Professional Woman) and survivors Teri Adams (Iowa Housewife), Judy Blue (Soap Star), and Megan Cavanagh (Earth Mother) known for her role as Marla Hooch in the 1992 film A League of Their Own.

Menopause The Musical is set in a department store where four women at a lingerie sale have nothing in common but a black lace bra AND memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex and more! Singing along to classic tunes from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, the cast forms a sisterhood with the entire audience. Whether naturally occurring or being thrust into menopause as a result of cancer treatment, Menopause The Musical helps women embrace and celebrate that menopause is no longer “The Silent Passage.” For more information on the tour, please visit TheSurvivorTour.com.
