Pearl the Musical

From ragtime and waltzes, to boogies and blues, this musical has it all. Our story begins with pretty young Emma Grace coming to Pearl’s Parlor, a fancy brothel in West Texas, looking for a job, Her father just died and she has nowhere to go. Although she is a virgin she is willing to learn the trade. Feeling sorry for her, Miss Peael takes her in and offers her a job in the kitchen. That evening the cowboys have brought Tommy Lee to the parlor for his first time with a woman. He sees Emma Grace and it is love at first sight. Tommy Lee’s mother becomes concerned when she learns where he has met his future bride.

 

Stories of humorous characters and the 1923 Santa Rita oil discovery in West Teas are woven throughout the main story. The cowboys are sexy, the ladies are friendly and the music will make you want to jump up and dance. Our villains are the church ladies who tell Pearl that her “whores” cannot come back to their church. The scene may even bring a tear to your eye as you learn how fate has brought each of the girls to Miss Pearl’s Parlor.

 

Women helping women is the theme of Pearl. You will fall in love with Mozella, Miss Pearl’s best friend and partner who always quotes the bible and the 12 women who work at the parlor. Each of them has a story. Wait until you hear the Ballad of Miss Suzy Poontang that tells the true story of a Chinese courtesan who worked in Chicago in 1902.

 

Based on the historical fiction, Pearl. All songs written and composed by Cynthia Jordan.
