Ruthless! is a campy cult favorite in which the beautiful and talented 8-year-old Tina Denmark will do ANYTHING to play the lead in the school play.... ANYTHING! The show famously spoofs Broadway musicals such as Gypsy and Mame, as well as classic films including The Bad Seed and All About Eve. Ruthless! is a 90 minute hilarious romp through the world of Broadway, child acting, parenthood, and unbridled ambition.
We will also be featuring more about Ruthless! in future posts.
Past productions of Ruthless! have launched the careers of child stars such as Laura Bell Bundy, Natalie Portman, and Britney Spears. Make sure to catch our latest Tina, Tori Murray, so you can say you knew her when...
