19: Menopause the Musical - Women on Fire.
Menopause the Musical - Women on Fire is a different script to the original Menopause the Musical, with new songs but based on the original format. It is written by the original writer, Jeannie Linders.
Menopause the Musical - Women on Fire is set in a department store where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra on sale come to find they have more to share than they ever imagined.
The cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realise that menopause is no longer "the silent passage”, but a perfectly normal stage in every woman's life.
Men love it too.
This hilarious musical parody staged to classic tunes from the '60s, '70s and '80s will have you cheering and dancing in the aisles.
It's the hilarious celebration of women and "the change”.

26: The Waifs
The original road warriors, the Waifs have built a career out of continually circling Australia and the globe. From bustling cities to the farthest regional and coastal towns, they have spent the past 25 years reuniting with old friends and gathering new fans, thanks to their enchanting live shows and affable natures.
The Waifs have always had an affectionate, close relationship with fans in regional Australia. Late last year, during their 25th anniversary Ironbark tour, they made a promise to return to those regional areas that missed out. It's a promise they have kept: from Townsville to Frankston, Noarlunga to Warrnambool, the Waifs have you covered.
