Ruthless!: The Musical (1994 Los Angeles Cast)
Ruthless! The Script |
The young Tina Denmark knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking and she will do anything to win the part in her school musical. Anything includes murdering the leading lady! This aggressively outrageous musical hit garnered rave reviews during its long Off Broadway run which starred Brittany Spears in the title role.
This musical is a parody of The Bad Seed, Gypsy, All About Eve, and a host of other shows.
All characters are exaggerated and larger than life. There is no chorus – and some actors will pay two roles. Audition with an off-Broadway style comedy piece. |
