The Broadway Palm is normally a place for high-end entertainment, but from now thru September, the Palm will be transformed into your neighborhood honky tonk for the run of the country-fried musical, The Honky Tonk Angels. In the first act of the show, the audience is introduced to three women from different walks of life, portrayed by BP veterans Elizabeth, Carolyn, and Jillian. Their priorities might have gotten in the way of their dreams of being singers, but destiny brings the 3 of them together as they meet on a bus bound for Nashville, and become the Honky Tonk Angels. While the first act establishes the Angels’ story, the second act is easily the highlight of the show. One of the most notable numbers is “Harper Valley PTA,” in which the charismatic Loos sings from the humorous perspective of a mother with questionable parenting skills. Filled with heart, humor and beloved country tunes, The Honky Tonk Angels is your ticket for a good old time this summer. Collapse

I attended the opening night performance of this show and it was a treat. The food was amazing(standing ovation for the chef) and the script rather funny. Kudos to Chuck he was highly entertaining. The costumes were a delight and a wonderful nod to the 1970's. I recommend this for any mystery buff or avid golfer. After attending Honky Tonk Angels which too was a wonderful production my wife and I thought this would be a fun evening and we were correct. I recommend getting your tickets soon for this as the evening we attended there was not an empty seat. Congratulations to the staff at Broadway Palm for bringing such wonderful entertainment to the Valley. Best of luck on your new season and many more to come. My wife and I look forward to seeing all of your upcoming shows. Keep up the exceptional work! Collapse

I was fortunate to work with all three of these wonderful ladies in Oliver! and The Sounds Of Christmas. Jill did a wonderful job and left me in goose bumps with the song "Coal Miner's Daughter." Elizabeth was hilarious in her version of "Stand By Your Man." Caroline left me afraid of getting a fax after she sang "These Boots Are Made For Walking." The show was wonderful and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Go see it. Collapse

Wow, what a performance! I was drawn in from the beginning and didn't want it to end. It was perfectly presented. The singing of all the 5 or 6 primary characters was outstanding. The sets and costumes were great. This was perfectly cast and very well done. I want to go see it again! This is one of the more enjoyable theater performances I've been to (and I have season tickets to Broadway Across America). Collapse

Not a country music fan? Have no fear - most of the songs in The Honky Tonk Angels are crossover top 40 hits like 9 to 5, Harper Valley PTA, Delta Dawn, Coal Miner's Daughter, Ode To Billy Joe and I Will Always Love You. If you've been to a show at Broadway Palm chances are you have seen at least one of these three very talented ladies in a starring role: Elizabeth Loos, Carolyn McPhee and Jillian Nyhan Zygo - together they are amazing. The band is phenomenal and the handsome hunky cowboy that opens Act II singing about "Trashy Women" will make you want to put on more lipstick and rouge and wait for him at the stage door! The story is funny, touching and uplifting. The set is great and the costumes are terrific. I highly recommend this show. Collapse
