Menopause Strikes Again

[ghost_light]

I was House Managing again tonight.

A couple arrived almost 2 hours early and were sitting in the lobby having drinks.

As the lobby began to fill up with other patrons, the husband called over my Usher Captain.

"Why," asked the husband innocently, "are there so many more women than men here tonight?"

"Well, I'd say it's because this is Menopause, the Musical," replies my Usher Captain, and he proceeds to explain to the husband what the show is about.

"Really!?!? My wife told me it was about Minneapolis!" exclaims the husband. "No wonder she wanted me to have this beer."


My hand to Zod, Minneapolis. You just can't make this shit up.

I'm just now getting around to your theater-specific posts, and I couldn't go on to the next one without telling you how funny this is. It would make a great party joke -- how many times have you told this story since then?

I got a lot of mileage out of it when it first happened but I don't tell it as much anymore. Kind of like the Great Toilet Incident of Christmas Carol.
