The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Presented by
Old Log Theatre
Tony Award Nominee for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical, winner of Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music and Lyrics
This happy go lucky view of small town vice and statewide political side-stepping recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850s as one of the better pleasure palaces in all of Texas. Governors, senators, mayors, and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona's cozy bordello until that puritan nemesis Watchdog focuses his television cameras and his righteous indignation on the institution. Made popular by the Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds movie, the play is a nostalgic look at a delicate subject, but there’s nothin’ dirty going on!
