Reimagined Revival of SIDE SHOW Opens Tonight on Broadway

The completely reimagined revival of Side Show officially opens on Broadway tonight, November 17, at the St. James Theatre (246 West 44th Street).

Directed by Academy Award-winner Bill Condon and featuring a "supercharged score" (Charles Isherwood, New York Times), Side Show includes new music by multiple Grammy Award winner and Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Tony Award nominee Henry Krieger (Dreamgirls), with book and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Bill Russell and additional book material by Bill Condon, and choreography by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia!).

Side Show is inspired by the remarkable true story of the Hilton twins, Daisy and Violet, who were legends in their time and the highest paid performers on the vaudeville circuit. Side Show is their heartwarming search for first love and acceptance amidst the spectacle of fame and scrutiny under the spotlight.
