Young actor Clarence Rawlins’s falsetto voice isn’t the only ’false’ thing about him after he gets himself and his acting troupe into a little debacle in Lucky Lady, Nevada. Discovering that he has misread his distant aunt’s handwritten will, Clarence learns he has not inherited a profitable saloon, as expected, but instead the Lucky Lady Salon, a beauty parlor. Flat broke, Clarence has no choice but to raid the costume trunk and transform himself into a down-on-her-luck British aristocrat, Lady Claire Rawl, now head hair stylist of the small town’s only salon. His pal and fellow actor, Roger Gaines, becomes a French stylist, Rogaine. Together with the ladies in the troupe — Heidi Gray, Bobbie Pinz and Nell Clipper — they re-open the beauty salon to great success. But their good luck runs out when, unbeknownst to them, the owner of the saloon next door plots to acquire Clarence’s salon as part of a scheme to rob the bank next door to it. Filled with hilarious characters, uproarious musical numbers and puns galore, this western comedy includes piano player Melody Plunkett, preacher’s wife Sadie Blessing; ranch owner Rhoda Steed and her cook Russell Grubb. You’ll ’dye’ laughing at this wild western musical full of dynamic dialogue, double identities, criminal plots, and a music score as wild as the Old West!

Catchy tunes, funny lines, fast moving plot...
This year is the highest number of students we’ve had yet participate in the play. I was aiming for comedy when I picked ‘Way Out West in a Dress,’ and I knew the play had a lot of parts. It’s got fun, catchy songs, and I knew the kids would enjoy that. So it just fit. Marsha Zavez, North Hampton School, North Hampton, NH
