Davenport Theatre- Mainstage
354 West 45th Street New York, NY 10036

Like no beauty pageant you've ever seen before, six contestants (all played by men) vying for the title of Miss Glamouresse compete in swimsuit, talent, gown, and spokesmodel categories. This hilariously fun musical is Miss America meets Kinky Boots. Judges selected from the audience get to pick the winner- so no performance is ever the same... and the suspense is real! Get tickets now and let the beauty begin!

PAGEANT debuted Off-Broadway in 1991 at the Blue Angel in New York where it ran for more than a year before playing successful engagements on the West End and around the world. Pageant was last seen this February in a sold-out five-show special engagement that benefitted Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS at the Red Lacquer Club, which was the first time it had returned to the New York stage in more than twenty years.

PAGEANT- THE MUSICAL returns in a limited Off-Broadway engagement at The Davenport Theatre.
