University Theatre Does Musical Best Little Whorehouse in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, a musical comedy based loosely on fact, is a hap- py-go-lucky view of smalltown vice in Texas. The play opens with Don Sowers as bandleader of the Rio Grande Band, narrarating the story of Miss Mona's Chicken Ranch, a house of ill repute that once existed in a small Tex- as town. We're gonna shut down Miss Mona's, sang the suppor- ters of Melvin P. Thorp, Watch Dog News. Thorp, a prying, ob- noxious TV newsman, is played with great physical energy by Kevin Austin, who really stood out in one of the key roles. Miss Mona, played by Mi- chelle Myerscough, is the own- er of the Chicken Ranch, the lo- cal whorehouse. The song Myerscough sings in one of the last scenes, A One-Way Ticket to Nowhere, is filled with emotion, allowing the audience to sympathize with Miss Mona and the girls of the Ranch, who have become The family locker room scene by the win- ning football team, provides some lively en- tertainment with vigorous and exciting dance scenes. The dances are in honor of their happiness and their coming trip to the Chicken Ranch for the big celebration. 3 0 Play Texas the victims of Thorp's puritani- cal crusade. Earlier in the play, two differ- ent newcomers arrive at Miss Mona's looking for work. The first, Angel, is a city hooker. She arrived in a blond wig, with a black eye. Angel has been beaten by her pimp. Angel is played by Michelle Naumann, whose voice com- municates the sensitive emo- tion of the song, Hard Candy Christmas as she and the girls look forward to life after the Chicken Ranch. The other newcomer is a plain girl who, appropriately enough, is given the work name Shy. Shy is played by jennifer Neidert, who does a good job of portraying a naive country girl. The Chicken Ranch, at one point, plans a party for the win- ning football team. ln the locker room, the team does a smooth celebration dance. One member, played by Stacey Campbell, stands out with an energetic tap dance. Eventually, the sheriff, played by Charles Parnell, has to close down Mona's due to bad pub- licity from the Watch Dog News. Parnell played the crusty sheriff convincingly. Doug Powers did a good job playing the part of a side-step- ping, hypocritical governor with a touch of evangelistic fer- vor. jeff South and Stephen Ches- sor added nice comic touches to the play in multiple roles. jewel, played by Donna Miller, was Miss Mona's sec- ond-in-command and principal moral support. The combina- tion of her polished singing and acting makes the song Twenty-four Hours of Lovin ' one of the high points of the play. Everyone involved in the play obviously worked hard to make it a Class-A production. Atten- tion was held and emotif' were stirred.
