Wanzie’s original “Ladies Of Eola Heights” is the record-breaking smash hit comedy/drama which holds the distinction of being the most successful show ever to be presented at the Footlight Theatre at the world famous Parliament House all-gay resort. “Ladies Of Eola Heights" shattered all previous box office records during its historic 9-month run, resulting in tour buses of senior citizens attending the show from all over Central Florida - and from as far away as Ocala, Lakeland and Port Orange - who happily sat alongside young gay-club-goers to enjoy the show.
