The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, press notes state, "recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850s as one of the best pleasure palaces in all of Texas. Governors, senators, mayors, and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona's cozy bordello… that is until the crusading television reporter Melvin P. Thorpe focuses his cameras and his righteous indignation on the institution."

The Best Little Whorehouse originated Off-Broadway at the Entermedia Theatre April 17, 1978, before moving to Broadway June 19, 1978, at the 46th Street Theatre (now the Richard Rodgers Theatre), where it played 1,584 performances. The original production was co-directed by Masterson and Tommy Tune. A film version starred Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas will be produced by Jerry Frankel and Jeffrey Richards, who was the press representative of the original production.
