The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

Performance Dates
-
It was the nicest little...whorehouse you ever saw. It is the late 1970’s – and Miss Mona’s beloved Chicken Ranch brothel has been in business and known throughout the great state of Texas for more than a century. When crusading television watchdog Melvin P. Thorpe ogles the whorehouse as his next moral target, Miss Mona, her lovely bevy of girls and Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd must buck the muckraker to keep the ranch open. A gritty satire about moral sensationalism and moral hypocrisy, the Tony Award-winning musical features a lively score that includes “Twenty Fans,” “Girl, You’re A Woman,” “Hard Candy Christmas,” and the new musical number “A Friend to Me.”
