Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of DJC Productions' RUTHLESS

Eight-year-old Tina Denmark knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking, and she'll do anything to win the part in her school musical. Her mother, fellow students, and the rest of the world had better watch out because nothing will stop her quest for stardom! Cunningly spoofing classic musicals and campy films from Gypsy to The Bad Seed, the aggressively outrageous and absolutely hysterical musical garnered rave reviews during its long Off-Broadway run.
