Title: Ruthless (gallery added)
Post by: andyg0404 on July 15, 2015, 05:42:52 PM
Hello again,

There's an Off Broadway revival of Ruthless, the spoof of The Bad Seed. The role of the publicist Sylvia St. Croix is played by the actor Peter Land. I've always thought it would be fun if Tina, the Rhoda Penmark imitation, was played by a boy as well. But I love this red dress she's wearing.

Golly. It turns out this musical has been around for over 20 years, & I never knew about it. Although I love music, I'm not a musicals fan. So maybe I didn't really pay attention if heard the word "musicals" when it was mentioned.

Lots of pretty dresses in these musicals over the years. Almost every major city & a few schools ran a version of this musical. Gotta start a gallery on it later. I see lots of pix & videos of it.

I found more pix of the musical playing from around the country over several years of productions.

Enjoy!

There's a lot of videos of the various versions of the musical from different cities circulating around.

This first set of vid caps of it look like they were recorded with a small pocket phone in the audience, so are poor quality. But there's a couple cool dresses & scenes in it, so it's worth seeing.

Enjoy!

I got some caps of another version of the musical. This one appeared to be recorded on VHS, so it made no sense to make them much bigger, because they'd only show more distortion.

Love the curls & pigtails.

Enjoy!

I found another video of the musical. Unfortunately it's very poor 200P VHS quality (which is worse than ordinary VHS). It does have some nice petticoat scenes though.

I found another video. This version also appears to have been recorded on VHS, but it is a little better quality. The dress is much prettier too - A true Sissy Dress!

Enjoy!

The little girls dresses in the Ruthless gallery are very nice, too bad it was not a boy playing that part but she appears too cute to be a boy. Having said that, there seem to be more cute boys/as girls appearing in photo galleries these days and on youtube also.

Yeah. They have a guy play one of the woman's roles in the musical, but not for the girl. I found more versions of the musical. This next one was also in VHS. Some VHS don't look too bad. But many of these were recorded on cheap, or poor, or well used tape, or recorded, copied, or edited onto slow speed VHS.

To fit 4-8 hours of video on a single tape may have been handy, but unless you have super-vhs, it usually looks pretty bad on anything but a 19" or smaller CRT TV. Basically if you wanted it to look good, it has to be recorded on the fast 2 hours speed, & to copy a tape onto another tape looses too much quality.

I found another version of the musical, & a very pretty dress. Once again, it's only about VHS quality, but i was able to enhance them a little.

Enjoy!
