Luckily, menopause has come out of the dark ages and is now not only talked about openly and honestly it is celebrated in not one musical comedy but now version number two. As if the first smash hit comedy didn’t generate enough laughter, there is now a sequel to the four ladies forming a sisterhood in a department store. This wild quartet is experiencing “the change” on the high seas, cruising as best they can on rough waves and smooth patches.
