Back for a sizzling return season and reimagined exclusively for Midsumma, "Ruthless! The Musical" is a show you won’t want to miss! Is talent something we’re born with... or something worth killing for?

Join us for this laugh-out-loud, high-energy, camp-filled extravaganza as we follow 8-year-old Tina Denmark, a young girl with an unquenchable thirst for stardom who will stop at nothing to be in the spotlight. With a catchy score by Marvin Laird and witty lyrics by Joel Paley, this hilarious production spoofs iconic classics like “Gypsy,” “Mame,” and the chilling thriller “The Bad Seed.” It’s a side-splitting take on these beloved shows that will leave you doubled over in laughter!

The fabulous Dolly Diamond steps back into the larger-than-life role of Sylvia St. Croix, after receiving rave reviews in last years production, and she’s promising to shake things up once again with her razor-sharp wit and outrageous charm. "I’ve waited years to play this role on stage; so the opportunity to reprise the role is far too tempting to pass up," Dolly says with a wink. Get ready, Melbourne, for a sensational blend of sass, camp, and uproarious hilarity. “Ruthless! the Musical” is back, and it's more wickedly entertaining than ever!
