Show times are Sept. 5-6, 8, 12-13, 15, 19-20 and 22 at 7 PM.

The musical was penned by Joel Paley (book and lyrics) and Marvin Laird (music), longtime conductor for Bernadette Peters. Paley will direct.

For this production, composer Laird is putting down his baton and putting on pantyhose to take on the role of the infamous Sylvia St. Croix. He will be joined by co-author Paley and guest star Rita McKenzie — from the original Los Angeles company — as Lita Encore.

The musical, which was inspired by "The Bad Seed," concerns the onstage and offstage antics of the diabolically talented Tina Denmark. The Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning production opened in 1992 and showcased the early talents of soon-to-be stars Britney Spears, Natalie Portman and Laura Bell Bundy.

Tickets cost $45 and $35. There is a two-drink minimum for all shows. To purchase tickets click here.
