Honky Tonkin’ at the Civic Theatre
From the Albert Lea Tribune
Country music fans will find lots of their old favorites and those who aren’t necessarily country fans will find lots of laughs in the Albert Lea Community Theatre production of “Honky Tonk Angels.” The musical review opens Thursday at the Albert Lea Civic Theatre.
“Honky Tonk Angels,” which was written by Red Swindley, is a musical tribute to the women of country music. Featured in the show are Lisa Sturtz and Stephanie Erdman, both of Albert Lea, and Kelly Huff of Medford.
“Honky Tonk Angels” is the story of three women who leave their hum-drum lives to pursue a singing career in Nashville. They meet on a bus and end up forming a musical group.
The review features more than 40 songs, including “Harper Valley PTA,” “9 to 5,” “Ode to Billy Joe,” “Fancy,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “Stand by Your Man,” “Rocky Top” and more.
“Honky Tonk Angels” opens Sept. 21 and continues Sept. 22 and 23 and Sept. 27 to 30 at 7:30 p.m. There is a matinee at 2 p.m. on Sept. 24. Tickets for the public go on sale Monday at 3:30 p.m. The box office number is 377-4371.
