First we meet the three characters before they make the decision to follow their dreams to sing in Nashville.

Angela Bodine is a larger than life housewife (with a hairdo to match!) from Texas, with a beer drinking, truck driving husband named Bubba (of course). As she does the laundry, she receives a phone call from Bubba who cancels their dinner date so that he can attend a tractor pull with the boys. Angela decides to run away for a while as she sings “Stand By Your Man…Bullcrap!”

Darlene Purvis decides to leave her Mississippi life of poverty to follow her dream after the mysterious death of her boyfriend Billy Jo (“Ode to Billy Jo”). A motherless young girl leaves the care of her ailing father to follow her dream to Nashville.

Sue Ellen Smith Barney Fife is a secretary in Los Angeles who sings about quitting her job and leaving her no-boundaries boss behind, all while singing the Dolly Parton classic, “9 TO 5”.

After writing their farewell letters singing “I Will Always Love You,” they board a bus and begin their trip. It isn’t long after they meet on that bus that the three divas start singing “Delta Dawn” and harmonizing together. They decide to join forces and take Nashville by storm in their newly-formed singing group: The Honky Tonk Angels!

As the second act begins the ladies have landed a “gig” for six weeks at The Honky Tonk Heaven Club, where they perform their final performance. The hilarious show includes their creation of The Honky Tonk Angels Hall of Fame, the first two honorees being Cleopatra, Queen of Denial (Sue Ellen) and Mrs. Johnson, an outrageous Texas cheerleader’s murdering mom who tells the story of her confrontation with parents from her daughter’s high school in “Harper Valley Pta” (Angela). The final inductee is “Fancy,” a girl whose sad story of her courageous rise to success is the inspiration for Darlene’s number.

Darlene, embarrassed and upset over singing a song about a prostitute, threatens to leave in the middle of the show—until the other two gals come up with an idea: they’ll sing “The Good Girl Medley,” which includes sweet and innocent songs like “Rocky Top,” with a show stopping “clog” dance and Angela’s warning to the men in the audience, “You Better Not Be Bringing Those Barroom Habits To Mama.” Sue Ellen finishes the medley with a surprising choice of “Cornell Crawford,” which she performs on roller skates, twirling a baton while wearing a waitress outfit from HOOTERS!

After all the hilarity it is time for the ladies to say goodbye. The loving bond of friendship is on full display as they sing the spiritual anthem “Angels Among Us”. And so Angela returns to Bubba and her family in Texas; Sue Ellen goes back to LA, where she begins her own beauty business: Nails by Suellen—The Texas Chainsaw Manicurist; and little Darlene stays in Nashville, where she will begin a solo career with the dream of becoming a country music superstar!

The show concludes with a promise that the Angels will come together again for a holiday reunion, and so we all anticipate their return to the Honky Tonk Heaven stage. A rousing performance of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?” takes us home, wrapping up this saga of the fabulous Honky Tonk Angels.
