Description

Urban Cowboy is based on the hit Paramount film of the same name, which starred John Travolta and Debra Winger. It's the story of Bud, a new breed of cowboy who's turnin' heads and lookin' for love in the biggest honkeytonk in the world. But can he raise the roof, get the girl and ride the bull, all before last call? This completely revised musical is filled with hits by Clint Black, the Charlie Daniels Band, Dixie Chicks, Travis Tritt, Shania Twain, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Anne Murray. We predict you’ll be hootin’ and a hollerin’ and perhaps croonin’ your own country tune on the ride home, whether by bull or just your average mustang. It’s a line dancin’, fine-romancin’, heart-breakin’, boot-scootin’, raw-hidin’, bull-ridin’, good time.

Press

“In an interview before the show, Molinelli said her favorite scenes during the performance are moments where she gets to mount the mechanical bull.  Her enthusiasm shows in “Urban Cowboy.” At one point, Molinelli even stands up on the bull, which drew cheers from the large opening-night crowd.”
-Amanda DeProspero, The Dominion Post

“Molinelli shines in “Sin Wagon,” climbing up the sides of the set and dancing on the bar.”
-Amanda DeProspero, The Dominion Post
