In 1870, Eliza Haycraft was the richest woman in St. Louis, having built an empire of brothels on three simple rules: RESPECT. CONSENT. PAY UP FRONT. As rich men stand to profit while rights are stolen in the name of "morality," the MADAM must fight back to protect her fortune, legacy, and her girls.
Originally commissioned by Bluff City Theater in Hannibal, MO in 2019 and produced by Fly North Theatricals in St. Louis in January of 2020, Kimmie Kidd reprises her role as Madam Eliza under the direction of Sam Hayes in this updated version of Colin Healy's critically-acclaimed "infectious," "fresh, new musical.”
