The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a rollicking, hootenanny of a musical, based on the true story of a legendary Texas bordello, which operated from the 1840s to 1973. Under the proprietorship of Miss Mona, and protected by a friendly sheriff, The Chicken Ranch is frequented by politicians, football teams, and others, and thrives in the small town of Gilbert, Texas. That is until Miss Mona and her girls come under fire from the religious televangelist, Melvin P. Thorpe, and all hell breaks loose on The Chicken Ranch! This hilarious, sexy, high energy song and dance comedy about the oldest profession will laugh you right out of your seat!
