Pageant
New England Premiere Musical
September 11—October 5, 2008
Like no beauty pageant you've seen before. Six young men dressed as six young women compete in a prestigious beauty pageant to determine who will be the new Miss Glamouresse. This silly, fun musical is Miss America meets Some Like It Hot. And you may even get to choose the winner!
"Screamingly funny!"
