Ruthless! the Musical

Ruthless! the Musical was a huge hit Off-Broadway and is now being produced by the Mounds Theatre as their final show of their inaugural season. The story is of an eight-year-old, Tina Denmark, who knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking in her elementary school play and is willing to do anything to win the lead. Anything including murder! This is a hilarious dark comedy about a little girl who would do anything to be a star. This musical spoof is full of absurd plot twists and multiple identities. This fast pace spoof parodies such classics as Gypsy, The Bad Seed, All About Eve and a host of other shows. Never has viciousness been so funny! Joel Paley created the book/lyrics and Marvin Laird wrote the music. Jefferson Fietek is both the Director and Set Designer for the production.
