"Hell's Belles"

Satirical Musical Comedy "Hell's Belles" Looks at Infamous Women in History

You don't need to journey all the way to Hell to see its most notorious females in action. Elektra Theater's "Hell's Belles" is a satirical -- and devilishly fun -- musical comedy featuring famous women in Hell. A pop star has been the unfortunate victim of a freak accident. As she arrives in Hell, a musical-loving devil introduces her to a series of infamous women from throughout history who strut the stage satirizing everything from women's rights to motherhood to the criminal justice system. Salome, Lady Godiva, Lizzie Borden, Joan Crawford and Janis Joplin are among the notorious females forced to perform in an eternal musical revue for the devil's entertainment. Will the pop star accept her fate and join the chorus, or will she stage a revolution? And what's Eleanor Roosevelt doing there? Watch as four incredibly talented women play more than 20 roles, with crazy costume changes, tuneful melodies and social satire galore.
