Ruthless! the Musical June 6, 2008

Winner! Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical
Outer Critics Circle Award

"A spoof that has enough absurd plot twists and multiple identities to fill several old movies.... The fun comes from the sheer brazenness!"--- N.Y. Times.

"Hilarious.... It is beyond praise!"-- N.Y. Daily News.

"Merry mayhem.... Malicious, delicious and a total joy."-- N.Y. Observer.

"Brilliant."-- USA Today.

"A wonderfully smart and funny send up of every Broadway brat from Gypsy to The Bad Seed ... loaded with campy wit and charm."-- Variety.

Suburban housewife Judy Denmark is dull as dull can be, but her daughter, Tina, is the greatest song-and-dance sensation to ever hit the third grade. She's cute. She dances. She sings. And she would KILL to get the lead role in her school play.

This hysterical and campy musical traces the story of eight-year old child actress Tina Denmark, her split-personality mother Judy, and her stylish but strangely familiar talent agent, Sylvia St. Croix, who has all the charm of Joan Crawford in a daycare center.

There's also more in store with a school teacher "no longer afraid to get on with my life and off medication," a theater critic who channels Ethel Merman, and the personal assistant who makes us want to fasten our seatbelts in anticipation of a bumpy night. It's a hair-pulling good time, and you will HOWL over this killer musical comedy!

In a nutshell, Ruthless! The Musical is a twisted story; however, it is this "mutilated" plotline that makes it original and so laugh-out-loud funny.

Come join the award-winning Metro Stage Company for a raucous night of murder, campy fun, and the stage mother of all musicals!
