It's a case of going from one extreme to another, or at least from a convent to a brothel, as Stratford on Stage has secured the rights for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Performances will be in October 2021 at Stratford's TET Kings Theatre. Helen Snook, who directed the very successful The Addams Family Musical, will be directing the show.
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a musical with a book by Texas author Larry L. King and Peter Masterson and music and lyrics by Carol Hall. It is based on a story by King that was inspired by the real-life Chicken Ranch in La Grange, Texas. It is well known for country and western queen, Dolly Parton, taking the lead role of Miss Mona in the Broadway production.
Time Magazine called it "a font of fun and friendliness, engagingly rich in regional nostalgia and spiced with delicate bawdry. The country and western score is a delight". WABC TV 7 described the show as the "Best Broadway musical of the season".
