Tina Denmark is an adorable and talented 8-year old with a tiny murderous streak. When the lead role of Pippi Longstocking in the school play is up for grabs, she knows she’ll get the part – even if it means leaving a few bodies along the way. Spoofing classics from The Bad Seed to Gypsy, this cult-hit musical is a deliciously diabolical look at fame, ambition, and the perils of musical theatre. Happy Hour is a Drag is back due to popular demand and hosted by local sensation Martha T. Lipton. Free with ticket purchase. Wednesdays, doors open at 6:30 pm, show begins at 7:00: Dec 6, 13, 27 and Jan 3 “An enjoyable slice of cyanide birthday cake” – TimeOut “Above all, it’s very, very, very funny” – Gay Times “It’s good old-fashioned fun wrapped up in a colourful bow of pure sass” – Theatre Weekly “A spiked Shirley Temple of a show” – The New York Times
