You may not have heard yet, but one of the biggest beauty pageants in the world, Miss Glamouresse, is coming to Atlanta, and the theater-going public will soon have the unique chance to witness the glitz and glamour themselves in Pageant: The Musical (Book and Lyrics by Bill Russell and Frank Kelly, Music by Albert Evans), playing at the 14th Street Playhouse beginning August 25th. This hilarious send-up of the beauty pageant world has all the things you might expect, evening gowns, swimsuits, talent, spokes-modeling and even beauty crisis counseling. But when the contestants take the stage you may be surprised to see that these "girls" have, as Frankie Cavalier the emcee puts it, a little "something extra". I had the unique opportunity to speak with one of the 6 contestants themselves, Miss Great Plains (Dustin Smith, also co-producer), to get the inside scoop on the pageant and even test her question and answer skills.
