Temperatures will rise, hormones will rage and pulses will gallop with the news that Hot Flush!, the naughtiest comedy musical in town, starring Birds of a Feather icon Lesley Joseph, is coming to the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe on May 6.
There won’t be a dry eye in the house from laughing as Hot Flush! takes us on an hilarious journey which delves into the friendships, the secrets, the laughter and tears and the ups and downs of four ordinary women and the many men in their lives.
Get set to meet Myra (Lesley Joseph), Sylvia (Lori Haley Fox), Helen (Anne Smith) and Jessica (Ruth Keeling), a quartet of feisty menopausal women who get together every Tuesday night at a local bar.
They offer each other moral support, cry on one another’s shoulders and, of course, most importantly, gossip and malign the men in their lives – 15 of them all played by Matt Slack.
Collectively referred to as ‘The Hot Flush Club’, Myra, Sylvia, Helen and Jessica will not leave a stone unturned or a story untold in the matters of relationships with the opposite sex and the menopause.
Myra (Lesley Joseph) is a successful barrister, specialising in divorce.
She had always considered herself a together sort of person until her rat of a husband left her for a big blonde bimbo from his office.
Jessica is the wife of a wealthy man, and had the perfect life until she experiences something of a mid-life crisis.
Sylvia, who has been married to Joe since she was 20 and has been bored with him since she was 21, has decided that life is for living and is making up for lost time.
Helen, a widow, whose only daughter has left for university, is feeling somewhat lonely but tries to take one day at a time.
Lesley Joseph is best known for playing Dorian Green, the neighbour from hell, in the sitcom Birds of a Feather, alongside Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson.
They recorded more than 100 episodes over a period of nine years, and Dorian Green became a national institution, watched at its height by 20 million people.
