'Ruthless!' plays Oct. 1-Nov. 1

VISTA — “Ruthless! The Musical” will play October 1 through November 1 at Vista’s Broadway Theater. It is best described as a musical comedy spoof of the entertainment world.

Ruthless is the story of Judy Denmark, a typical ’50s housewife full of the desire to clean, cook and care for her child. One day a mysterious woman appears at Judy’s door and tells her that her daughter, 8-year-old Tina, has what it takes to be a star and she must manage her career.

But Judy wants nothing of ‘show business’ – at least, not until Tina auditions for the school production of “Pippi Longstocking,” a role the girl will do anything to play, including eliminating the competition.

“The premise of show reads like a dark comedy, but it is far from it,” said Randall Hickman, director and Broadway Theater owner. “‘Ruthless!’ is musical theater at its best.”
