![]() Little Miss SunshineFebruary 15 - March 27, 2011 Mandell Weiss Theatre
Music and Lyrics by William Finn The Hoover family has seen better days. Richard, the father, is a floundering motivational speaker, Grandpa’s been kicked out of his retirement home, and Uncle Frank’s been dumped by his boyfriend. Moody teenager Dwayne has taken a vow of silence and overextended mom Sheryl can do little more than slap on a smile. But when the youngest Hoover… umm, energetic Olive, enters a regional children’s beauty pageant, the family thinks their luck could change and embarks on a cross-country trek chasing the coveted title of “Little Miss Sunshine.” Based on the Academy Award-winning film, Little Miss Sunshine is an outrageously funny and surprisingly touching new musical. |
