Thursdays-Sundays
Gear up in the fictional town of Gilbert, Texas in the late 1970s, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas depicts the Chicken Ranch run by Miss Mona, who has plenty of snap in her garters. She has an up shut and personal friendship with the local lawman, Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd, whose predecessors have tolerated the institution for more than 100 years. Problem brews when Houston watchdog news commentator Melvin P. Thorpe,sets out to expose the goings on at the Ranch. He's slicker than a boiled onion and he's got the power of the press backside him. A hissy fit of Texas proportions follows when cameramen capture the Sheriff giving Melvin an earful. Before long the commotion works its fashion from the citizens of Gilbert, to Mayor Poindexter, and Senator Wingwoah, and all the way to the Governor's office. Information technology's a hootenanny of hilarity.
Opening in 1979, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas won Tony, Drama Desk and Theatre Earth awards. Time Magazine declared it to be "A font of fun and friendliness, engagingly rich in regional nostalgia and spiced with frail bawdry. The country and western score is a delight." A 1982 pic of the same name directed by Colin Higgins starred Burt Reynolds, Dolly Parton, Dom DeLuise, Charles Durning, and Jim Neighbors. Durning was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor. The movie garnered several Golden Globe nominations.
