HOT FLUSHES – THE MUSICAL
Preview tour

It’s 2016. Lady Green is bronzing on a Super Yacht, Sir Phil Green is getting roasted by a Parliamentary Select Committee, and Sandra in Lighting, who’s worked forty-five years for BHS, is burning from the loss of her pension.
Hot Flushes – The Musical is inspired by the testimony of pension-age feminist activists. It’s the story of Sandra, a disappointed BHS pensioner on the edge of sanity and on a mission to get her dues. Sorta what you might get if Victoria Wood and Ennio Morricone collaborated after a few tequilas, and a Bristol Old Vic Open Session Play, the show features an ensemble cast & live band (baritone sax, drums, guitar) and ten original songs.
“A dysfunctional love story about the roller coaster hormonal journey of murderous menopause and remembering what home means.”
Weston-Super-Mum
“Funny, engaging, skin-crawlingly familiar and hugely entertaining.”
