A Brief show description follows:
Lesley Joseph and Sam Kane star in the outrageous new musical, and ultimate girls' night out, Hot Flush!
Meet Myra, Sylvia, Helen and Jessica in this hilarious musical. Share in the friendships, the secrets, the tears, the laughs and ups and downs of four ordinary women - and one man - living extraordinary lives.
Lesley Joseph (Dorien Green from Birds of a Feather, Night and Day and numerous West End and touring productions) plays the role of Myra. A successful barrister, specialising in divorce, Myra had always considered herself a together sort of person. That is, until she began to develop the symptoms of you know what…and her rat of a husband left her for a big blonde bimbo from his office!
Sylvia, played by Hilary O'Neil, has been married to Joe since she was 20…and has been bored with him since she was 21! She's now decided that life is for living and she's making up for lost time. Anne Smith plays Helen, a widow, whose only daughter has left for university. Feeling a bit lonely, Helen tries to take one day at a time. It's just that sometimes, several days attack her at once!
Ruth Keeling plays Jessica who lives in the best house in the nicest street in town! Jessica's husband has worked hard and made lots of money and they both enjoy the finer things in life. Her life seemed perfect until her mid-life crisis began but she's coping with the help of her friends and the vicar. She just wishes that the vicar could explain why when God made man he didn't try a little harder?
Television heartthrob, Sam Kane (Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks), plays an array of characters and all of the men in their lives!
Packed with fabulous new songs, Hot Flush! is more fun than joining a gym, cheaper than botox and might even leave you feeling 34½ again! So forget the credit crunch blues and get your girlfriends together for a hilarious evening of entertainment…or bring your man along...he'll have the biggest laughs he's ever had!
