RUTHLESS!
The title evokes images of vintage Hollywood melodramas. And indeed, RUTHLESS! pays campily affectionate tribute to a host of female-driven cult classics like Mildred Pierce, All About Eve and The Bad Seed. Send-ups of Broadway culture and mid-century kitsch are tossed into the mix as well, resulting in an onslaught of hip lampoonery that rarely slackens over the course of two acts.
