Story for Side Show
From the Academy Award®-winning writer of Chicago and the Grammy Award®-winning composer of Dreamgirls, SIDE SHOW is “a lavish, vivid and emotionally stirring production that’s less a revival than a full-scale reimagining” (Charles Isherwood, The New York Times). This dazzling musical is set against the backdrop of 1920s and 1930s show business, seamlessly blending the worlds of carnival, vaudeville and Hollywood glamour. Based on the remarkable true story, SIDE SHOW follows the legendary Hilton twins, Daisy and Violet, as they rise from side show attractions to celebrities of their day—all the while, searching for love and acceptance amidst the spectacle of fame and scrutiny under the spotlight. Don’t miss their one-of-a-kind journey to discover the very thing that makes them different… makes them extraordinary.
