RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL to Return for Limited Engagement Off-Broadway

Ruthless! The Musical, the award-winning Off-Broadway musical comedy (Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle) is back by popular demand after a record-breaking, sold-out nine performances to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. "RUTHLESS!" has come to be known as the Stage Mother of All Musicals, is back at Stage 72 at the Triad beginning on October 23rd for an extended run.

This hilarious, always evolving show business tale of talented tykes, narcissistic parents, and ambition run riot, will return with a vengeance along with many exciting changes to the production. Like, for instance, who will be playing the demented 8-year-old diva, Tina Denmark, while the divine Sophia Anne Caruso is off to the Kennedy Center to perform in Susann Stroman's new musical, "Little Dancer" until December? The answer is both surprising and ingenious!

Although the outrageous plot will have many surprises up its proverbial sleeve, one element that will not be changing is the appearance of the show's composer, Marvin Laird, at the baby grand and on stage as the infamous Sylvia St. Croix. Laird (long time Broadway and concert conductor for the fabulous Bernadette Peters) was such a revelation in the role, that he is coming back to once again reprise his unique and droll performance. Author and lyricist, Joel Paley will once again direct this intimate soirée production. The cast includes Kim Maresca, Tori Murray, Katie Sparer, Delaney Arizala, and Rita McKenzie as Lita Encore.

Tickets cost from $25 to $43. There is a two-drink minimum for all shows. To purchase tickets and view show times, visit: http://ruthlessthemusical.brownpapertickets.com.
