Tina Denmark is a pretty, charming and diabolical eight-year-old girl who "was born to entertain." With the encouragement of slick and overbearing potential agent Sylvia St. Croix, Tina will do anything to play the lead in her school play, and we mean anything. The question is: where does such remarkable talent and unstoppable ambition come from? The answer may shock you when you see this award-winning stage mother of all musicals. The role of Tina was an early career stop for the likes of Laura Bell Bundy, Britney Spears, and Natalie Portman."
