Creative Loafing Review is In!

"Marking its 10th anniversary, Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical is the first musical ever presented by BareBones, an exuberant celebration not-so-daintily laced with profanity, partial nudity, babes doing babes and one ginormous ejaculation.

Just what we need around here." Read the entire review at Creative Loafing.

" Porn Musical Has Theatregoers Coming In Droves"

"It is a very raunchy play, but I think the raunchiness is done in a way that is very clever, which I think is more appealing than being overt.".... From The Naughty American.

ARTS a la Mode Review

"Oh my ... gosh. A musical based on a porn movie playing in Charlotte! What's this city coming to?

The simulations of hard-core sex scenes and twisted orgies are uproariously funny, skirting yet never crossing the line to the fully obscene. Set pieces, props, gestures, and choreography are all terrifically campy, especially when streamers fly and performances spill out--into the audience. The acting is uniformly excellent, even when cheerleading and football uniforms are exchanged for towels in the locker room scenes." ...... For the complete review visit ARTS a la Mode.

The Film: In 1978, the mob-funded Buckley Brothers produced the adult film Debbie Does Dallas to cash in on the sexy image of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders squad. It starred previously unknown "'Bambi Woods" in the lead role, who in real life had tried out for the Cowboys cheerleaders but hadn't made the cut. The movie had a spare plot, amateurish cinematography and abysmal acting... so naturally it became one of the most popular adult films ever.


The Musical: Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical premiered at the New York Fringe Festival in 2001. The story, dialogue and characters are mostly faithful to the original film, performed as tongue-in-cheek spoof, with a musical score of memorable (and memorably raunchy) tunes. After playing to sell-out crowds Off Broadway, it's played to packed houses around the world. Directed by BBTG Founder & Artistic Director James Yost, Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical is the must-see show of the season!

A wild comedy in the vein of previous BBTG hits Psycho Beach Party and Mr Marmalade, Debbies Does Dallas: The Musical is not just BBTG's first musical - this show marks our 10th Anniversary!

Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical chronicles the coming of age of small-town sweetheart Debbie Benton who dreams of making it to the big time by becoming a Texas Cowgirl Cheerleader. When she receives a letter informing her she's qualified for the professional squad, the only thing that stands between her and her dream is the bus fare to the big city! Debbie enlists the help of her friends, and together they will stop at nothing (and do just about anything) to help raise enough money for Debbie to go all the way... to DALLAS!

DEBBIE DOES DALLAS: THE MUSICAL contains adult situations and language - it's theater just the way we like it, as only BBTG can present. Join BareBones Theatre Group for the Charlotte premiere of this Off-Broadway hit!
