Synopsis
And the winner is…..
Every evening and matinee six contestants battle it out for the title of Miss Glamoresse. Who will it be? Miss Bible Belt; Miss Industrial Northwest; Miss West Coast; Miss Industrial Northeast; Miss Great Plains; or Miss Texas? Judges picked from the audience nightly determine a different winner at every performance. This fun-filled musical is presided over by host extraordinaire Frankie Cavalier, who gives Wayne Newton a run for his money! Contestants compete in several categories including swimsuit, physical fitness, spokes model and beauty crisis counseling. And by the way… all the contestants are played by men. This wild and funny satire of beauty contests is a sure-fire crowd pleaser. Fun for all ages. You’ll never watch Miss America the same way again.

Hi is there a cast recording of Pageant?? Can’t seem to find one at all.
Is it possible to purchase a CD of the music from Pageant?
If so, where and how.
Thank you.
Mr. Russell,
Lewisville Playhouse is producing Pageant next month and I am the Director/Producer. We are inviting the current Miss Texas on opening night and plan to use her as one of the judges. We’d like a special introduction for her (when Frankie chooses the judges) so would you do the honors of writing one just for her? Or can we go ahead and create one ourselves? We’re asking because we know there are copyright issues and legalities so please advise. Thank you so much for your time and hope to hear from you soon!
Eddie
