Are you experiencing hot flashes? Fits of Rage? Feelings of needing absolute freedom? You might benefit from Middle Raged, A Musical Meltdown.

Premiering live at the Joan 3 - 4 July 🔥

Created from hundreds of real stories shared by women across Australia, and featuring a powerhouse all-female cast and live band, this electrifying night of song and storytelling shines a spotlight on the riotous chaos of aging, raging and changing.

Featuring songs by Missy Higgins, Gillian Cosgriff, Tim Minchin, Sia and P!nk, Middle Raged celebrates the power and potential of a glorious mid-life and beyond, inspiring women to honour their own voice with laughter, song and sisterhood.

Because when you’re over the hill… the view is incredible!
