Description
At Ghana's Aburi Girls Boarding School, queen bee Paulina and her crew pull out all the stops when a pageant recruiter arrives to scout candidates vying for Miss Ghana 1986. The stakes mean fame, fortune, and prosperity to the students until a new transfer student from America kicks the competition into a higher, far more personal gear. The Broadway production reunites Tony Award-nominated playwright Jocelyn Bioh and Tony Award-nominated director Whitney White nearly a decade after the play's Off-Broadway premiere.
