the musical
Book and Lyrics by Joal Paley

Eight-year old Tina is a parent's worst nightmare. She knows she was born to 
play Pippi Longstocking in her school show and will do anything to get the 
part, even if it means killing the leading lady.  This aggressively outrageous 
musical hit garnered rave reviews during its long Off Broadway run which opened 
with Brittany Spears in the title role.  "A wonderfully smart and funny send 
up of every Broadway brat from Gypsy to The Bad Seed ... loaded with campy wit 
and charm."-- Variety.
