STEEL MAGNOLIAS

At first, one simply enjoys the small-town Southern voices of Truvy's Beauty Shop--the humor, the asides, and the gossip. But soon listeners realize that they're completely wrapped up in the lives of these characters--the beautician, the widow, and the young woman with her whole life ahead of her. LA Theatre Works has tapped into some of the best female character actors working in American film and television--Brittany Snow (PITCH PERFECT), Amy Pietz (STAR TREK: NEXT GENERATION), and Frances Fisher (PINK CADILLAC)--in this reprisal of the 1989 blockbuster film. This live recording is enhanced by the sounds of an appreciative audience taking in every word of a play that has become a popular classic of Americana.
