SIDE SHOW

This musical is based on the remarkable true story of the Hilton twins, Daisy and Violet, who were legends of their time. The very thing that makes them different....makes them extraordinary. Set against the backdrop of 1920's and 30's show business, "Side Show" blends the worlds of carnival, vaudeville, and Hollywood glamour.  

 This newly reimagined "Side Show" made its premiere at La Jolla Playhouse in winter 2013 followed by the Kennedy Center in spring 2014. The original production opened in 1997, receiving four Tony® Award nominations.
