\"TAKING A CHANCE - It is a wonderful combination of gut-splitting humour. There are spots where people were hanging on to themselves because they were laughing so hard or crying heartrending tears.\"

\"MUSICAL LAUGHS AT MIDDLE AGE - Like modern-day witches brewing a cauldron of trouble, the four 50-something actresses in MENOPOSITIVE! The Musical, really stirred up the pot and their audience on Thursday evening. The most giggles were bestowed on a quasi-Christian support group for women feeling the menopausal crunch, which turns into a frenzy of chair humping hilarity.\"

November 1999
\"UNLIKELY TOPIC MAKES FOR A WINNING MUSICAL - The musical is a celebration of the beauty, resourcefulness and powerful place middle-age women have in our world. Playwright J.J. McColl has certainly created a winner in taking a topic as uninviting as a menopause and turning it inside out, producing a fresh, funny and flirtatiously delightful product. It's exactly the way it should be-menopositive.\"

\"MUSICAL SPOOF GENERATES LAUGHS - From the moment she comes barging on stage pushing a vacuum cleaner, Ann Warn Pegg commands the stage. She makes the Hungarian widow a lusty, comic tornado as if she's channelling the late Ethel Merman.\"

\"ANGE-THOLOGY - J.J. McColl's brilliant script portrays four women in their mid-50's who tackle the menopausal meaning of life. The result is two hours of gut-wrenching comedy with some tender, thought-provoking moments and the zany performances.\"

\"POSITIVELY HILARIOUS - Not only men think about it all the time. So do menopausal women. In the hilarious MENOPOSITIVE! The Musical, women of 'a certain age' straddle a saddle, ride a chair and curse out loud.\"
\"Anyone with inhibitions about seeing a musical about menopause should give their head a shake and see this amazing performance.\"

\"MENOPOSITIVE! A RICH EXPERIENCE - Who knew menopause could be so entertaining? J.J. McColl did when she penned MENOPOSITIVE! The Musical, her witty, funny, touching story of four middle-aged women who get together for the first time in years to stage a play for their high school reunion. They go through a roller-coaster-like ride as they rediscover each other and themselves. It's a ride that makes the audience laugh and cry.\"

\"MENOPOSITIVE! IS POSITIVELY HILARIOUS - MENOPOSITIVE! The Musical, is positively one of the best and funniest productions the Victoria Playhouse has ever staged. It's a shame it will only be here a few more nights, so do try to get out to see it. You won't be disappointed.\"
