A man clowning it up as a woman has always raised a laugh. That's the idea behind "Pageant," the musical playing at Rep Stage in Columbia. The actors in the cast, though, give much better performances than the amateur efforts you sometimes see at parties. And the laughs are there - plenty of them. The show is a spoof of that great American institution, the beauty pageant - in fact, it's structured like one, with an oily, fawning master of ceremonies, a parade of contestants representing different parts of the country and a full range of competitions - evening gown, talent, swimsuit and physical fitness.
