Circle Theatre's Jeff Recommended Production of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"



The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

Previews April 2, 3 & 6 April 7 - June 20

Book by Larry L. King & Peter Masterson

Music & lyrics by Carol Hall

Directed & choreographed by Kevin Bellie

Yee haw! Circle presents this Broadway blockbuster of small town vice and political side stepping recounting 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 frequented Miss Mona's bordello until puritanical hypocrites focus righteousness on the landmark. Religious zealots dictating decency and morality—sound familiar?



Stomp your feet and holler out loud, this down home charmer will thrill audiences.
