The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

Music & Lyrics by Carol Hall
Book by Larry L. King & Peter Masterson

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas tells the story of a little Texas brothel known as the Chicken Ranch--so named because, during the Depression, customers were allowed to pay with poultry! As the story begins, two new girls have just arrived at the Chicken Ranch looking for employment. One of the girls is obviously experienced, while the other has come straight from the farm. Miss Mona, the proprietor of the Chicken Ranch and a former prostitute herself, immediately sizes up both girls. She allows both girls to stay, but gives the first girl a quick makeover, forcing her to remove her tarty blonde wig and sunglasses and change her name to "Angel."

Melvin P. Thorpe, a television commentator, is about to go on the air with "Nemesis", a watchdog program that is supposedly committed to exposing social and commercial abuse, but in reality is only a front for giving Melvin himself exposure so that he can bathe in the limelight. He has his sights set on...the Chicken Ranch.
