Ruthless!

Summary :

The musical is thought of as a satire of the musical and B movies of the 50s where, as in T, everything is only appearance!

Judy is a housewife who is so proud of her 8-year-old daughter Tina who dreams of becoming a broadway star. Encouraged by her manager, Sylvia St. Croix, Tina will do anything to get the lead role in her school play, even if it means eliminating her main rival! Tina's mom learns the truth about her parents and decides to become a Broadway star too!
