She's Hideous

I am so intrigued.....and kinda annoyed that I missed this when it had it's world debut last October.

What has me scratching my head though is the...um...slight difference between "farcically deformed" and "horrifically deformed".

There's a difference, right?

----Set in 1920s Vienna, She's Hideous tells the darkly funny story of an expressionist painter (Colin DeVaughan) suffering a nasty case of artists' block. Things begin to look up, however, after a chance encounter with the farcically deformed Wanda (Amy Schwarz), who quickly becomes an unlikely muse.

----She's Hideous is a concert musical in one act with music and lyrics by recent Washington University alumnus Eric Dienstfrey (Arts and Sciences, '04) about a young artist who exploits his horrifically deformed girlfriend in his newest painting.
