  • Audience-Alienating Premise: The play is a musical drama based on the lives of Violet and Daisy Hilton, Conjoined Twins who became 1930s vaudeville stars and are best remembered today (if at all) for their appearance in the film Freaks. The original 1997 Broadway staging was a flop, but the show has an intense enough fanbase that it received a revival in 2014...which had an even shorter run. Ads for both versions tried to get around the premise by not directly stating it, but that didn't help.
