The people they meet and they people they become while meeting them, truly challenges their approach to life, and each other.<BR>-On their journey they meet an extraordinary cavalcade of freaks that they find are not so different than themselves in many ways, and who also teach them more about themselves and each other, than they could
imagine!.<BR>**This show has messages of life and loss, and universal and poignant themes of differences and indifference, and discrimination and love. *Mature subject matter of universal nature<BR><BR>-SIDE SHOW was written by Bill Russell (book and lyrics) and Henry Krieger (music). The original Broadway show starred Alice Ripley as Violet and Emily Skinner as Daisy. It opened on Broadway on October 16, 1997 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
