Every woman knows it’s coming. For some, “the change” is a terrifying point of no return; for others, its a welcome trade-off. With a half-dozen parody songs of classic tunes from the ’60s to the ’80s, Menopause the Musical confronts hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings with showtunes. The off-Broadway production, which has played for 16 consecutive years now, is a knee-slapping tribute to the feminine struggle and the bond of sisterhood. The show has been described as a “mandatory humor workshop for men.” Runs thru Jan. 21.
