For the uninitiated, Pageant - The Musical is a parody that pits six beauty queens against each other in the Miss Glamouresse beauty pageant. These beauties sing, dance, and camp it up in gowns and bathing suits. It is a hilarious contest that is equaled only by the zany "spokesmodel" event which requires them to hawk the sponsor's outrageous cosmetics. While the girls swirl around the charming host, judges from the audience decide who will be crowned Miss Glamouresse.
Need I say that the girls are played by boys?
Pageant - The Musical has been touring the country for years. I have not seen it in person, but I have seen lots of photos of the show and present the best here for your enjoyment.
Is that Bianca Del Rio in an early version of her drag persona performing in a production of Pageant (at the bottom of a group shot with a lavender background)?
