THE CURTAINS opened in St. Michael's Theatre last night (Tuesday) on one of New Ross Musical Society's most entertaining and liveliest productions to date.
' The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' promises to be one of the most enjoyable and energetic musical extravaganzas the theatre has seen yet.
Months of hard work, preparation and rehearsals will come to fruition this week as this family show will run nightly until Saturday.
The musical is based on the true story of a legendary Texas Brothel known as the Chicken Ranch, which operated from the 1840s to 1973. Protected by a friendly Sheriff and frequented by politicians, football teams and others, the Chicken Ranch thrived.
Girls come from all over to work at the ranch and make a little extra cash. However, a crusading do-gooder Houston TV commentator and his conservative audience expose the Chicken Ranch forcing it to shut its doors forever.
The production team of Bill and Anne-Marie Stafford and musical combination of Nick Cooney and Maeve Wilson are at the helm of this show once again with an all local cast including some well known faces.
Tickets cost ¤15 for adults and ¤10 for students tonight (Wednesday) and are available at the Theatre Box Office.
