Mordant spoof of big musicals such as Mame and Gypsy, and the film The Bad Seed. Eight-year-old Tina Denmark knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking, and she will do anything to win the part in her school musical. "Anything" includes murdering the leading lady! A sassy and comic piece!

Ruthless is a must see this holiday season. You won’t be sorry.
The title of this musical is self explanatory. It is ruthless, it’s a musical, but it’s very funny as well as charming in its own unique way! One theory states that for every burned out bulb found on a theater marquee, it represents a Broadway bound broken heart. That may be the situation, but nothing is broken in this production as witnessed on the Theatre Palisades stage.
The over-the-top production sometimes seemed so dark that the comedy became invisible. But those who enjoy farcical parodies in which the actors overplay their roles to the hilt may find it more appealing than I did. Perhaps as time passes, this production will gel more so that the humor of the story and talent of the actors can overcome the pitfalls I witnessed on opening night
