	Amazon.com: Side Show (1997 Original Broadway Cast): Music: Henry Krieger,Bill Russell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Side Show is the story of the Hilton sisters, not Paris and Nicky, but Daisy and Violet Hilton Conjoined twins who rose to fame In Vaudeville in the early years of the 20th century
		Outside the show and on this CD they seem dull and boring, the singing seemes forced and the rhyme scheme on a lot of the songs is terrible.
		this show could have been one for the ages and instead it is stuck as another forgetable broadway show that in a few years might get a revival and might not.

	Circus Side Show History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		For one hundred years (1840 - 1940) the freak show was one of America's most popular forms of entertainment.
		Today the same shows would be considered unacceptable and cruel, or as one disability rights activist put it, "the pornography of disability." In the mid 19th century, however, Americans were beginning to move from the farms and a family-based society to one which relied more on organizations, including institutionalized entertainment.
		It was at this time that P.T. Barnum brought the freak show to prominence through the American Museum in New York City.

	Weekend: An intense 'Side Show'
		Now musical theater discovers the sisters in Side Show, which is about Siamese twins who rise from being carnival freaks to vaudeville and theater stars during the Depression.
		In fact, the marriage ceremony was held at the Gibsonton house of Ward Hall, a well-known side show impresario.
		Despite some great notices, Side Show was a flop on Broadway in 1997-98, no doubt because its potentially squeamish scenario would seem to be an unlikely vehicle for a musical.

		Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
		Double on everything but plot, "Side Show" is a behind-the-curtain peek at the Hilton Sisters, "Siamese" twins who became vaudeville stars and media sensations of the 1920s and '30s.
		Aside from the twins, the only "freak" given prominence in "Side Show" is Jake (well played by Norm Lewis), billed as a captured cannibal king but actually the intelligent, sensitive protector of the sisters.

	Side Show review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As the first act curtain comes down on the emotionally charged new musical "Side Show", it is clear that something rare and exciting is happening, something that may leave you, as it did me, glued to your seat for a few minutes as you recover from emotional exhaustion.
		As the freak show’s ring leader, Ken Jennings is appropriately horrifying, shouting at the audience as the show opens to drop their dough and gawk at the denizens inside his tent.
		With deft writing and economical staging, "Side Show" sets its sights high, continually broadening its canvas from the Hilton twins to incorporate a wide variety of people who are "freaks", depicting many people who find themselves trapped in the vast spaces of darkness and constantly looking for a sunny sky.

	Metroactive Stage \| Side Show
		ALTHOUGH Side Show ostensibly offers a glimpse into the lives of some celebrated midway attractions, Bill Russell's musical about Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton is more akin to a hall of mirrors than a freak show.
		In this fictionalized account of the Hilton twins' career, which took them from the carny to vaudeville to a brief stint in the movies in the 1930s, Russell's humanization of these "freaks of nature" forces audiences to examine why we as a society are in turn fascinated with and repelled by the physically abnormal.
		Side Show plays Tuesday at 7:30pm, Wednesday-Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2 and 7pm and Oct. 31 and Nov. 7 at 2pm at the Center for the Performing Arts, Mercy and Castro streets, Mountain View.

		While P.T. Barnum elevated the ballyhoo of exhibiting side show circus freaks to an art, it was the arrival of Samuel W. Gumpertz at Coney that brought the freak show to the seashore.

	Side Show a CurtainUp re-review
		Solid support is provided by David Jennings, as an anguished Jake, the African-American who plays a cannibal in the side show and who begs his beloved Violet to overlook his race as he overlooks her affliction.
		Lewis's voice is a show standout and Jennings gives the right air of Dickensenian evil to the puppet master pulling the strings not just of the Hilton girls but the entire ensemble of freaks he employs.
		The real Hilton sisters did work in carnival side shows as children and young women and eventually appeared in vaudeville and the movie mentioned at the end of the show is still available --a 1932 classic named Freaks.

		Loosely based on the true story of the Vinton sisters, conjoined twins who progressed from the midway to vaudeville at the beginning of the '30s, this contender for the 1999 Tony is probably more interesting as a smaller scale presentation such as the current production at the Lyric than it was on Broadway.

		His decision to stage the show as if it were being presented by a downtrodden troupe in a show-tent freed the story from constraints that hindered the Broadway version.
		Vocally, the strongest of the trio of men in the twins' life is Eric Jordan Young's "Jake," a fl member of the side show whose love for Violet raises issues other than the Siamese twin problems.
