The Arizona Repertory Theatre at the University of Arizona presents "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," directed by Samantha Wyer.
Featuring a catchy country-western score, this energetic and bawdy Broadway hit recounts the true story of Chicken Ranch, a Texas brothel frequented by politicians, victorious football teams and the town sheriff. At Chicken Ranch, it’s business as usual until Melvin P. Thorpe, an enterprising television anchor, targets his cameras at the house of ill repute. A tale of small town vice versus righteous indignation, this romp will have you pulling on your cowboy boots and stomping along!
"This musical is filled with cowboy boots and customers. With a cast of 30, the rustic and raunchy characters of the little town of Gilbert, Texas, weave a humorous story of Miss Mona and her working girls hitting the glare of the national spotlight," explains guest director Wyer. "The entire company has a single vision: to give our audiences lots of laughs, a rowdy good time and – as any good country song – a little bit of heartbreak."
Wyer serves as associate artistic director/education director at the Arizona Theatre Company and has guest directed many productions for the Arizona Repertory Theatre, including "Company", "Betrayal" and "Noises Off!"
Contains mature language and themes.
