Chesham Musical Theatre Company proudly presents
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
It is 21 years since CMTC last produced the show and they are excited to bring back this fun, upbeat production to The Elgiva this spring.
With a book by Larry L King and Peter Masterson, and music and lyrics by Carol Hall, it won two Tony Awards and four Drama Desk Awards after its Broadway premiere in 1978. This hilarious show was then made into the famous 1982 movie starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. It was nominated for two Golden Globes and became the highest grossing musical film of that year.
Miss Mona runs the Chicken Ranch, a brothel with a long history in a small Texas town. The locals have a good relationship with the institution, and Mona is respected in the community. The sheriff, Ed Earl Dodd, also looks out for the Chicken Ranch due to his past with Miss Mona. However, when pious TV crusader Melvin Thorpe exposes the brothel, outside interests want it shut down, putting the governor in a tough spot. Will Miss Mona be able to continue her business?
Come and find out this May as we take you back to Texas for some good old country comedy and musical mayhem!
