Kate, Marnie and Cynthia meet to stage a revue for their 35th high school reunion. They carry their own secrets, their own fears as they reveal in "Headed for Broadway". To their horror, Cynthia and Marnie discover that the revue that Kate has written is about menopause, "the single most unattractive subject in the entire world" as Cynthia calls it. But after Kate's off the wall performance of flamenco - "Hormones!" - the women reluctantly agree to take part. They're joined by the school's flamboyant cleaning woman, ZsuZsu, a former star in Hungary, who bulldozes her way into the show by belting out "Here I Am!". As the women rehearse their comedy numbers about menopause - "Ninety-seven Percent", "Whirligig Glands", "Nips and Tucks" - they also reveal the deeper feelings about their own lives in songs like Marnie's optimistic "Fool Fer Love" about her quest for true love; ZsuZsu's tribute to her idyllic marriage - "Nothing Special"; Kate's poignant "Coattails" about her sense of inadequacy, and "Little Bird", a song for her dying mother. Later, Cynthia's hilarious 'kicking over the traces' number, "One Hell Of A Woman!" proves that her "Mrs. Perfect" image is over for good. By the end of "We're Still Hot!", each woman has addressed her fears and secrets. They're hot, alright. Hot enough to take on the world!
