WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Hoover family has seen better days. Richard, the father, is a floundering motivational speaker, Grandpa's been kicked out of his retirement home for doing drugs, and Uncle Frank's been dumped by his boyfriend. Moody teenager Dwayne has taken a vow of silence and overextended mom Sheryl can do little more than slap on a smile. But when the youngest Hoover--energetic, indomitable Olive--enters a regional children's beauty pageant, the family thinks their luck could change and embarks on a cross-country trek chasing the coveted title of Little Miss Sunshine. With a rollicking pace and moments of joyful abandon, Little Miss Sunshine is an outrageously funny and surprisingly touching new musical.

Fortunately, the scenery -- by the brilliant David Korins -- is not the only thing worth humming. The show's creators -- aided by a star-studded cast -- have made dysfunction entertaining, endearing, and oh so much fun.
With the bus' roof and doors missing, and the hydraulic seats raising and lowering the actors, every minute of this road trip from New Mexico to California -- where eight-year old Olive Hoover (Georgi James) plans to participate in a bea[...]
