PAGEANT
Book and Lyrics by Bill Russell and Frank Kelly
Music by Albert Evans
Pageant is the long running off-Broadway hit that sends up everything we’ve come to expect from beauty pageants. It comes complete with emcee, swimsuit and evening gown
competition, spokes model categories, lavish production numbers and a winner decided by members of the viewing audience. You would swear you were watching the Miss America Pageant except for one small difference. But hey, we don’t want to give everything away!
Pageant pokes fun at one of America’s most absurd traditions!
