| Marvin Laird’s and Joel Paley’s wild musical comedy that proves some kids will do anything to become a Broadway star…ANYTHING! The summer forecast calls for wild fun, over the top laughs, and “take no prisoners” comedy…and it’s all thanks to the mother and daughter, song and dance, team of Tina and Judy Denmark. The City Theatre Company is thrilled to present the award-winning, off-Broadway triumph Ruthless! The Musical, where no dream too big – or back too small to stab - can stop you from becoming a star. “Watch your back, Matilda...Tina Denmark’s coming to town!” Our story begins with eight-year-old Tina who knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking in her third-grade musical and will do anything to win the part. But when Judy, Tina’s adoptive mother, discovers that her birth mother was a famous actress, she decides that she should be famous as well, and becomes the Broadway diva she always meant to be. Will they both become stars? Will they kill each other - and everyone around them - as they sing, dance, and claw their way to the top? Spoofing such films and musicals as Mommie Dearest, All About Eve, Gypsy, and Mame, lots of songs, dancing, laughs, farce, and comedy abound! "A spoof that has enough absurd plot twists and multiple identities to fill several old movies...The fun comes from the sheer brazenness!" - The New York Times "Hilarious...It is beyond praise!" - New York Daily News "Wild amusement." - New York Post "A demented pleasure.” - New York Newsday "Merry mayhem...Malicious, delicious and a total joy." - New York 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 “A laugh-a-minute!” - Playbill With Jessica Cohen, Robert Cross, Susan Johnston Taylor, Michelle Cheney, Michelle Malia, and Kelsey Kimble.
