Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "When it began, Pammie O'Bannon had no idea how long 'Menopause' would last.
'This will be the 10th year, next March. I thought it was cute,' O'Bannon says. 'But I really didn't know it would last this long.'
O'Bannon is referring to 'Menopause the Musical,' for which she created the role of Earth Mother in the original production that debuted in 2001 in Orlando, Fla."

I think Menopause is just the first of many plays that even ten years ago would have touched on topics that were too tabboo for public viewing. The idea of a play that's basis is bodily function, and one that seems to loom over some people at certain ages, just shows how comfortable the current generation of actors is a variety of topics that probably would make some a little uncomfortable.
When someone breaks into a niche market and are the only ones involved, they typically succeed especially when there is a huge following. This show is unique in that it connects to a large audience of women going through something, who also like to watch the theater. Because this show has almost a cult following, easy to produce with a demographic practically everywhere, Im sure it will be around for a while
