Ruthless The Musical opens Friday in Carmel

Actors Theatre of Indiana will launch its next performance – Ruthless The Musical – with a 7:30 p.m. grand opening on Friday, Jan. 25 at the Studio Theatre at the Center for Performing Arts, 4 Center Green, Carmel. Based on the 1956 thriller The Bad Seed, the show runs through Feb. 17. It is directed by William Jenkins.

Tickets are on sale at the Box Office. Call 317-843-3800 or purchase online through ATIStage.org.

Ruthless The Musical is an aggressively outrageous musical hit that garnered rave reviews during its long Off-Broadway run. Eight-year-old Tina Denmark knows she was born to play Pippi Longstocking and she will do anything to win the part in her school play – including murdering the leading lady. This spoof has enough plot twists and multiple identities to fill several old movies … the fun comes from the sheer brazenness.

The cast includes the following: Sylvia St. Croix played by John Vessels; Judy Denmark/Ginger – Judy Fitzgerald; Tina Denmark – Nya Beck; Miss Thorn – Cindy Collins; Louise Lerman/Eve Allabout – Laura Sportiello; Lita Encore – Suzanne Stark; and Frederick – (A Nightly Guest Star)

Celebrating its 14th season as Central Indiana’s premier professional, not-for-profit theater organization, ATI continues to bring to the stage a variety of local and national artists dedicated to excellence in theatre production.
