Is talent something we’re born with... or something worth killing for?
Join us for this laugh-out-loud, high-energy, camp-filled extravaganza as we follow 8-year-old Tina Denmark, a young girl with an unquenchable thirst for stardom who will stop at nothing to be in the spotlight. With a catchy score by Marvin Laird and witty lyrics by Joel Paley, this hilarious production spoofs iconic classics like Gypsy, Mame, and the chilling thriller The Bad Seed. It’s a side-splitting take on these beloved shows that will leave you doubled over in laughter!
The fabulous Dolly Diamond returns to the larger-than-life role of Sylvia St. Croix, following rave reviews from last season. Promising to shake things up once again with her razor-sharp wit and outrageous charm, Dolly says, "I’ve waited years to play this role on stage; so the opportunity to reprise it is far too tempting to pass up." Get ready for a sensational blend of sass, camp, and uproarious hilarity!
Joining the stellar cast is Sam T as Lita Encore, bringing her renowned charisma and energy to the stage. “We are thrilled to welcome her to the cast—we know she will bring the sauce and sizzle the role needs,” shared the production team. Returning stars Chloe Haley and Luisa Oro will once again share the role of the ambitious Tina Denmark, delivering performances celebrated as “badass” and “radiating with self-satisfied glee.” Britni Leslie reprises her portrayal of Judy Denmark, praised for her “precision comic timing” and “radiant singing.” Rachel Rai joins the cast as Eve, promising to bring her own unique flair, while Lucy May Knight steps into the role of the no-nonsense Miss Thorne.
