This remarkable musical about acceptance, love and embracing uniqueness is based on the true story of conjoined twins and famed entertainers Violet and Daisy Hilton. As the starring act of a sideshow led by an abusive ringmaster, the twins are eager to accept an offer of fame and fortune (and potential romance) from Terry, a talent scout, and Buddy, a budding musician.
