Like every beauty pageant you've seen before, Pageant The Musical features a host of memorable contestants fighting for the chance to wear the glittery crown. Complete with swimsuit, talent, and evening gown rounds, audiences will follow the highs and lows of each contestant before being able to have their say in who should take home the title. Unlike most beauty pageants however, all female contestants are played by men.
