Critic's Pick
“A gleeful African makeover of an American genre.” -- The New York Times
Following an award-winning Off-Broadway run, this New York Times Critic’s Pick arrives ahead of a triumphant return to New York later this season.
How far would you go to be queen bee?
Paulina, the reigning queen bee at Ghana's most exclusive boarding school, has her sights set on the Miss Universe pageant. But the arrival of Ericka, a new student with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of the pageant recruiter—and Paulina's hive-minded friends. In this MCC Theater production, Jocelyn Bioh's buoyant and biting comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls across the globe.
“Full of light and laughter…Teenaged girls in Ghana prove they can be just as nasty—and as needy—as their international sisters everywhere.” -- Variety
