A 2002 hit off-Broadway musical, DEBBIE DOES DALLAS is a tongue-in-cheek show based on the infamous – and hugely successful - 1978 adult film. The show follows Debbie Benton, who wins a place on the Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleaders Squad – if only she can find the money to get there. What follows is a coming of age story of a bunch of small-town, mid-American high school teenagers. As they all seek their version of the American Dream, they discover what fulfilment will really cost them and whether or not it’s a price worth paying. And they discover sex, too!
Book and Lyrics for DEBBIE DOES DALLAS are by Kelly Marcel and Music by Andrew Sherman.
