A musical satire of Texas politics and small-town vice

Built around the rise and fall of the long-running Chicken Ranch bordello, this musical pairs Carol Hall’s songs with a book by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson. The supplied synopsis frames the action through the establishment’s place in Texas public life: politicians, local figures, and celebratory football teams are among its patrons before a puritanical campaign threatens its survival. With 13 male roles, 14 female roles, additional ensemble parts, and a unit set, the published script offers material for staging a broad, adult-oriented musical comedy about public morality, political maneuvering, and a notorious local institution.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Theater-makers seeking a musical with a large cast and unit-set staging
