Pageant: The Musical is described as “one of the rowdiest musicals of all-time.” Hmmm … I wonder why? The parody (happening at Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte on select days staring Jan. 6 and continuing through Jan. 22) features six beauty “queens” — Miss Deep South, Miss Bible Belt, Miss Industrial Northeast, Miss Great Plains, Miss Texas and Miss West Coast — played by men. Five judges from the audience will be picked during each show to make the final choice of who is crowned Miss Glamouresse. $25; “Pay what you can night” on Jan. 12. Jan. 6-8, 8 p.m.; Jan. 12-15, 8 p.m.; Jan. 20-22, 8 p.m. Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte, 650 E. Stonewall St. 704-342-2251. www.actorstheatrecharlotte.org.
