Menopause the Musical 2 – Cruising Through Menopause is the entertainment at the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne on Sunday, April 6 at 6pm.

Maureen Nolan (The Nolans, Calendar Girls) joins Carli Norris (Doctors, Hollyoaks, EastEnders and the Devonshire Park pantomimes), Rebecca Wheatley (Casualty) and Daniele Coombe in a celebration of women facing life’s challenges together with humour and grace.

Tickets on eastbournetheatres.co.uk or call the box office on 01323 412000. Age advisory of 16-plus as there will be adult language and themes.

A spokesman said: “This sequel reunites audiences with four unforgettable characters, catching up with them five years after the original Menopause the Musical. The production takes audiences on a high-seas adventure where tales of life, love and loss are shared with humour and sincerity. From hot flushes and mood swings to memory lapses and weight gain, these empowering women have plenty to say – and lots of laughs to share.

“Cruising Through Menopause offers a reassuring and entertaining exploration of the joys of menopause, celebrating the enduring power of friendship and self-discovery, all set to a soundtrack of side-splitting parodied hits that will have audiences laughing, cheering, and maybe even shedding a tear. Who said menopause needs to be endured? It’s a liberation! For audiences, this is a chance to laugh, reflect and find solidarity in shared experiences.”
