The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

We end our limited crossover marathon with our friends over at 80's TV Ladies to coincide with their look at the Nine to Five TV show with a Dolly Parton lead musical whose title gives away what you're getting yourself into almost immediately, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. 80s TV Ladies' Susan Lambert Hatem joins the show to talk the original stageplay, Parton and Reynolds chemistry, and how it's aged.Starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds, the two play a brothel owner and local sheriff who get embroiled in a match of tug of war between an attention-hungry tv host and vain politicians who are attempting to close the titular whorehouse down. It's a wild ride that works at times but struggles with its sexual and identity politics.
