MIDDLE RAGED - A Musical Meltdown

Information

Middle Raged is a fresh, fierce & funny new Australian work about women in mid-life, created from hundreds of real stories shared by women across Australia. Sitting between theatre, comedy, cabaret, concert and social commentary, it speaks directly to women aged 40-65 - a powerful, loyal & often underserved audience, while also engaging partners, adult children and anyone navigating midlife. Performed by 4 leading Australian women with an all-female band, the show explores aging, invisibility, menopause, the mental load, rage, identity, friendship & renewal through sharp comedy, original writing & powerhouse songs by iconic female artists. With glowing 5-star reviews & standing ovations at every performance, Middle Raged offers presenters a commercially appealing, emotionally resonant & highly tourable work with a clearly defined and highly engaged audience.
