Musical Hell: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

Yee-hah, y'all! Time to mosey on over to the ol' Chicken Ranch to...okay, that's about all the forced Texan I can give you. Here's The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, which has some Thanksgiving-type stuff going on. But mostly it's here because a Patreon requested it!

At the Source: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
