THIRSTY FOR THE LIMELIGHT

Thirsty for the Limelight is an ensemble puppet musical comedy that follows Esmerelda on a quest to find the sacred Limelight in the Land of Showbizz. Guided by her fairy diva godmother,  Shmiza Shminnelli, Esmerelda encounters hoards of hopefuls vying for the sacred spotlight. However, to reach the top, Esmerelda must conquer the malicious ruler of Showbizz, Anne Ziety. This theatrical spectacle, filled with original music, puppets, clowning and burlesque, premiered over four nights at the esteemed New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival in April 2024, and returned to three sold-out shows in Los Angeles in 2025. Thirsty for the Limelight captivates attendees with its blend of witty humor, audience participation, and sights to behold.

Thirsty for the Limelight is making its way to Electric Forest in western Michigan on June 21 and 22, and Planet Ant Theater in Detroit on June 26th!
