On Saturday, November 1st, TV personality Rosie O'Donnell and wife Michelle Rounds visited the revival of Broadway's Side Show, now playing at the St James Theater.

Check out O'Donnell's backstage visit below with leading ladies Erin Davie and Emily Padgett!


Broadway's reimagining of Side Show, featuring leading ladies Erin Davie and Emily Padgett, has a revised book and lyrics are by Bill Russell, with music by Henry Krieger, and additional book material by Bill Condon. Musical direction and arrangements are by Sam Davis (Dreamgirls at the Apollo), orchestrations are by six time Tony Award nominee Harold Wheeler, (Hairspray, Dreamgirls, The Wiz); and choreography is by Tony and Olivier Award nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia). Since its inception, Jack Tantleff has serviced as Creative Supervisor.

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. Mr.Condon's vivid production of Side Show seamlessly blends the worlds of carnival, vaudeville, and Hollywood glamour.
