Ruthless: The Musical
A Musical Comedy by Joel Paley and Marvin Laird
When Tina doesn’t get the lead in the school play, she takes matters into her own hands and lands herself a spot in kid jail. Her blasé mother and slimy talent agent quickly move on until Tina returns with a vengeance! With an outlandish ensemble, hysterical songs, and a killer leading lady, this hilarious musical comedy is your shot at fun this summer!
