Synopsis
Side Show is based on the true story of Violet and Daisy Hilton, Siamese twins who became vaudeville stars in England and America in the 1930's. Set amidst the world of the freak show and the splendor of the great vaudeville era, the show is a moving portrait of two women whose situation brought them attention, fame, and an unexpected encounter with love. The New York Times called Side Show "daring, enthralling...[with] passion, empathy and directness [that is] reflected in the tidal pull of the music and the winning simplicity of the lyrics. Tremendously moving."
