In PRETTY FACES the
"other girl next door" finds fame and glamour at a beauty
pageant for plus-sized women in this backstage musical. Dubbed "a
size XXL Chorus Line" (NY Post), Pretty Faces follows
each contestant's Cinderella transformation, from day one of rehearsals to
the crowning moment of truth. Complete with two feuding stars, a
love-struck stage manager, a baton-twirling rich Southern belle, and a
spoiled rich girl, this show pays tribute to the large and lovely.

Author/Composer Robert W. Cabell
based this witty and gutsy new musical on real-life people, giving voice
to the talented actresses perpetually cast in secondary or character roles
because of their ample size. " I decided what if people could see
them dressed up and looking gorgeous, and get to know them as the sexy,
sensual, desirable women that they are? And that's how 'Pretty Faces' was
born." The result was a triumphant Off Broadway run that was greeted
enthusiastically by both audiences and critics. Show Business noted that
"Cabell keeps the tunes short 'n'bouncy, winning us over with the
amusing "Too Plump for Prom Night", the recurring "The
Sleepwalkers Lament" and Bobby Joy's star-spangled, baton twirling
song "I'm Twirling for Jesus". Leave the calorie-counter at home
and check out this hilarious and life-affirming take on an All-American
tradition.
