About the Show

This campy cult favorite that spoofs the world of Broadway and child acting follows Tina, who will do anything to win the part of Pippi Longstocking in her school musical, including murdering the leading lady.

Wimpy and untalented mother Judy Denmark has a remarkably talented daughter, Tina, who is desperate to perform. Sleazy agent Sylvia St. Croix encourages Tina to audition for the school play, 'Pippi in Tahiti.' Unfortunately, the third grade teacher, Miss Thorn, chooses the thoroughly untalented Louise Lerman for the lead, making Tina the understudy. Determined to achieve their individual goals, everyone becomes a little ruthless, some more than others.
