Robert Jones, offered a comical yet often tragic gjimpse into the lives beauty pageant contestants as they struggle in their quest to win. The musical examined the pressures they face from mothers, sisters, friends, agents, audiences, and age.

Plans are for representatives from banking and finance companies, and other business administration companies, as well as representatives from the education and music industries be present for the event.

The difference between the two performances illustrated that the girls know that real talent is often masked during a competition. While the Talent Montage of exaggerated costumes and performances illicit rib cracking laughter, it did not hide the sadness of Rebecca squeaking a cutesy version of “Music” when the audience knows her true ability to belt out a song. Smith’s intense portrayal of Mary Jane also gave the audience a deeper look inside of the queens without crowns. She told the women who watch her on television," Life isn’t being looked at. We all have stories," reminding all that have more than gorgeous hair, bodies, and dresses, also have brains, talent, and a life.
