--Side Show is the stirring and controversial musical about Daisy and Violet Hilton, conjoined Twins who make a extraordinary change from being a circus freak show act, to becoming infamous stage performers in the 1930s. The people they meet and they people they become while meeting them, truly challanges their approach to life, and each other.
**This show has messages of life and loss, and universal and poignant themes of differences and indifference, and discrimination and love. 

--The 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. It received an overabundance of critical and audience acclaim, and was nominated for four Tony Awards in 1998, including Best Musical!!
**Songs included in this show include "I Will Never Leave You", "Come Look at the Freaks", "One Plus One Equals Three", "Overnight Sensation" & "Who Will Love Me As I Am?", the closing number of Act 1.
**Original Broadway cast members besides Ms. Ripley and Ms. Skinner include Hugh Panaro, Jeff McCarthy, Norm Lewis, and J. Robert Spencer, who have all gone on to major stage prominence.
