With crackling wit and startling honesty, the women of cakeface serve up a silver-sequined dissection of the American Dream.

Synthesizing razor-sharp choreography and a poker-faced delivery of original text, the cast shatters the facade of "making it."

Featuring live-mixed sound and visuals from electronic duo Prism House and clips from the 80s cult public access tv show of the same name, Stairway to Stardom honors the contributions of the wildly passionate but questionably talented among us.
