Tickets Now On Sale to See Return of Ruthless! The Musical Off-Broadway

Some kids will do anything to be a star…Ruthless! The Musical is returning off-Broadway. Tickets are now available to see the production, which is directed by Joel Paley. Performances will begin on June 25, with opening night set for July 13 at St. Luke’s Theatre.

The cast includes Peter Land (My Fair Lady), Kim Maresca (Twelfth Night), Rita McKenzie (Ethel Merman’s Broadway), Zoie Ann Morris (Ragtime), Tracy Jai Edwards (Hairspray) and introducing Tori Murray.

Co-created by Paley and Marvin Laird, the newly imagined revival is set in a world that includes Toddlers and Tiaras and Honey Boo Boo. Tina Denmark is a pretty, charming and diabolical eight-year-old girl who "was born to entertain." With the encouragement of slick and overbearing potential agent Sylvia St. Croix, Tina will do anything to play the lead in her school play, and we mean anything. The question is, where does such remarkable talent and unstoppable ambition come from?

Ruthless! first appeared off-Broadway 22 years ago at the Players Theatre. The original production featured a few young girls in the role of Tina who you might have heard of, including Britney Spears, Natalie Portman and Laura Bell Bundy.
