Mardi Gras Day might now be past, but you can still celebrate NOLA in NoHo on Thursday 3.3.22, at (mostly)musicals: (mostly) Mardi Gras! Put on your favorite festive clothes, and get ready to celebrate 'TARDI' Gras (mostly)musicals' style ! It's the long running cabaret series' first show at Upstairs at the Federal - and for the first time ever award-winning music director Gregory Nabours will be joined by Pablo Rossil and his Swingin' with the Music Band!

The show might actually be after Mardi Gras, but what can you do but put on some beads, grab a drink, and celebrate 'Tardi' Gras with (mostly)musicals!

RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL originally opened Off-Broadway in 1992, created as an over-the-top dark comedy spoof of the films The Bad Seed and All About Eve, and well-known Broadway musicals Gypsy and Annie. Similar to the dark comedy in musicals such as Little Shop of Horrors and Sweeney Todd where characters are murdered and then eaten, RUTHLESS! THE MUSICAL centers on 8-year old Tina Denmark, who knows she was born to play the lead in her school's third grade show and will do anything to win the part. And I do mean anything. Now onstage at Theatre Palisades, directed by Alta Abbott who first fell in love with the show during its 1993 West Coast premiere at the Canon Theatre in Beverly Hills, I can only say that the over-the-top production sometimes seemed so dark that the comedy became invisible.

Theatre Palisades brings some fun to the upcoming holiday season by presenting 'Ruthless! The Musical' a hilarious musical comedy spoof with book and lyrics by Joel Paley and music by Marvin Laird. Opening Friday November 1, through Sunday December 8, 2019 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 P.M. and Sundays at 2:00 P.M. at the Pierson Playhouse, located at 941 Temescal Canyon Dr. (just south of Sunset Blvd.) in Pacific Palisades 90272.
