Side Show is a musical production based on the real-life story of two conjoined twins Daisy Hilton and Violet Hilton, who became popular stage performers during the 1930s. The musical is backed up with a book and lyrics by Bill Russel, and music by Henry Krieger.
As the show came closer to bigger opportunities, it was finally launched on Broadway at the Richard Rogers Theater on October 16, 1997. At that time, the musical production was under the direction of Robert Longbottom, costumes designed by Gregg Barnes and lightings provided by Brian McDevitt.
The musical show received good feedback from its audience and critics, however, the show still had to close on January 3, 1998, after the show was able to compile 91 regular performances and 31 previews.

The show also features Norm Lewis as Jake, Jeff McCarthy as Terry Connor, Kenn Jennings as The Boss and Hugh Panaro as Buddy Foster.
In the Broadway history, the musical production had been nominated for Four Tony Awards back in the year 1998, however, the Side Show won none of these awards.
