Made popular by the Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds musical comedy film, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is based on the true story of Miss Mona's Chicken Ranch, a legendary Texas brothel that remained open for almost 70 years while law enforcement looked the other way. Protected by a friendly sheriff and frequented by governors, senators, mayors and even victorious college football teams, Miss Mona's cozy bordello thrives in the small town of Gilbert -- until a puritan nemesis in the guise of a crusading do-gooder focuses his television cameras and his righteous indignation on the institution and tries to bring it down. Now at Bloomington Center for the Arts, Artistry presents The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, a fun musical romp featuring big songs and big hair that's "utterly charming, lively and genial," according to the New York Daily News.
