Menopause The Musical 2, is the follow up show to the very popular 1st version seen by over 17 million Patrons.
MTM2 was a work in progress, as the design processes got underway under the guidance of Producer Seth Greenleaf. A first "try it out tour" was planned in Canada (Ottawa opening), followed by a tweaked final version Tour in the US (Bucks County Opening). The set needed to be flashy, fit in a 26' Moving Truck, set up in under 4 hours, able to grow or shrink depending on venue, and withstand the rigors of long touring stretches. We shopped the build out for bid to all the top shops in the US and Canada due to the complexity and mentioned demands.
MTM2 finds our 4 ladies on a cruise ship, with numerous locations: Interior Cabins, Different Decks, and Bar-Lounge. All changes needed to be cinematic which was accomplished by sliding pocket doors, rolling railings, Small Media Screens, light flown elements, and Furniture. The Sliding pocket doors were crucial, opening to a railing lined passage upstage of the set to give a fluid blocking pattern as we exited or entered into different locations. Nearly every scenic element lit up in one way or another for the "flash". One concept that got cut, was a usable 2nd story, though the railings remained to complete the visual composition.
