SYNOPSIS:“They sing – they dance – they
die!” A hotel ballroom, 1998, and six voluptuous B-movie “Scream Queens” revive
their fading acting careers by presenting a musical revue for their fans at a
science fiction and horror film convention. From young newbie to seasoned grand
dame, the Queens strut their stuff in song and dance to prove “I Got All of the
Talent I Need.” For 90 minutes of hilarious musical mayhem, they take the
audience into the world of no-budget movies with awful scripts, fake monsters
and gooey “Special FX.” They even involve the audience in a screaming contest
and zombie talent search. As each Queen reveals her personal story, we share
their hopes and dreams, from Tonya’s love of her idol “Fay Wray” to Alexis’
advice that “Everybody Starts at the Bottom” to DeeDee’s secrets of Scream
Queen longevity: “Don’t Open That Door.” British screen veteran Nadine savors
her joy of being “Still In Demand” while Bianca celebrates the lifetime
achievements of “Roger Corman” and Richelle laments her own elusive “Happy
Endings.” They also screen original clips from their direct-to-video “scary
movie” spoofs such as “Revenge of the Psycho Bimbos” and “Malibu Vampire
Vixens,” all hoping to attract the attention of a popular young horror film
director lurking in the audience.
CHARACTERS: 

RICHELLE – The cute one; mid-30s; alto; perky, a girl-next-door smile with
a girl-on-the-corner body. She was the most popular “Scream Queen” of the late
20th century and is very anxious to revive her career. She has appeared at many
dozens of these conventions and originated the idea for tonight’s show.
NADINE – The British one; mid-50s; alto; sensual yet aloof. She’s the
senior “Scream Queen” who has seen and done it all, having played everything
from a corpse to a vampire princess to a prehistoric tribal maiden to a Playboy
centerfold – almost. She’s a semi-recovered alcoholic and sneaks a quick drink
from a small flask whenever she thinks no one is looking.
BIANCA – The loveable one; late 30s; mezzo; very buxom, good-natured
with practical mid-western earthiness. She’s happily married with children but
never lets the spotlight intrude on her private life. Her occasional clumsiness
is due to the size of her breasts and her refusal to wear her eyeglasses in
public.
TONYA – The sincere one; late 20s; mezzo; sweet, charismatic, still
somewhat naïve. A former Tri-State cheerleading champion, she is the most
serious actress of the group and really believes that her B-movie career will
lay a foundation for respectable stardom.
DEE DEE – The trashy one; mid-30s; mezzo; intense, edgy, tough on the
outside but lonely and desperate within. She wears extreme make-up, hair and
clothes to hide her natural beauty, and will do anything to, for and with
anybody (including a popular “video series”) to get ahead and be noticed like
her idol Traci Lords.
ALEXIS - The smart one; early 40s; alto; compassionate, sisterly,
levelheaded. She has a college degree, invests carefully and acts as the
politician, often refereeing amongst the other Queens. She also has the good
business sense to produce her own videos.
