AFTER starring in the comeback tour of Birds Of A Feather at the Grand Opera House last June, Lesley Joseph will appear at the York theatre again on April 14.

This time she will play Myra in the Spring 2014 tour of Hot Flush!, “the naughtiest comedy musical in town” that takes a journey into the friendships, secrets and ups and downs of four ordinary women and the many men in their lives.

Joseph’s Myra is joined on the girls’ night out by Lori Haley Fox’s Sylvia, Anne Smith’s Helen and Ruth Keeling’s Jessica as the quartet of feisty menopausal women gathers every Tuesday at a bar for moral support, a shoulder to cry on, a gossip and the chance to malign the men in their lives. Those men – 15 of them – will all be played by Matt Slack, so no slacking for Matt.

Best known for her role as Dorien Green, the neighbour from hell in the sitcom Birds Of A Feather, 68-year-old Lesley, left, is cast as a barrister specialising in divorce in Hot Flush!

Lawyer Myra had always considered herself a together sort of person until she began to develop symptoms of you know what and her rat of a husband left her for a blonde bimbo from his office.

Jessica, the wife of a wealthy man, had the perfect life until she experiences a mid-life crisis. Sylvia, who has been married to Joe since she was 20 and bored with him since she was 21, is making up for lost time.

Widow Helen, whose only daughter has left for university, is feeling lonely but tries to take one day at a time. Unfortunately, sometimes several days attack her at once.

Written by Julie Benson, with music and lyrics by Olly Ashmore, Hot Flush! is directed by Alan Cohen and choreographed by Roger Hannah. Tickets for the 7.30pm performance in York can be booked on 0844 871 3024 or at atgtickets.com/york
