“Glitz! The Little Miss Christmas Pageant Musical," Pantochino's holiday family musical completes its critically acclaimed run this weekend at the MAC (Milford Arts Council) on Railroad Avenue in Downtown Milford with performances Friday at 7:30pm and Saturday & Sunday at 2pm.
The family-friendly holiday musical with book and lyrics by Bert Bernardi and music by Justin Rugg is a wildly funny spoof of glitz pageants. Swirling in delicious controversy, the host, Shayde Shames, is at the center of tinsels, tiaras, girls with big hair and their outlandish mothers. While the competition continues, it is the true spirt of the holiday season that wins in this unexpectedly heart-warming musical.
Nationally recognized theatre website BroadwayWorld has hailed the show as "Highly Recommended" and theatre critic Jim Ruocco calls the show "A high-spirited entertainment that delivers its yuletide grab bag of holiday cheer with hard-to-resist anticipation, wallop and potency."
The show is sponsored by Berchem Moses PC with Connecticut Post Mall as season sponsor. Pantochino is also raising funds for Milford Food2Kids at all performances.
“Glitz! The Little Miss Christmas Pageant Musical” debuted in Milford in 2012 and has since been published and licensed by Stage Rights, one of the leading theatrical publishers in the United States. The show has played hundreds of performances around the country and is currently onstage at two theatre in Texas.
