WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Good Ol' Girls, a new musical written and adapted by Paul Ferguson based on the stories of two prominent Southern authors, Lee Smith (The Last Girls) and Jill McCorkle (Going Away Shoes), with songs by Nashville hit-makers Matraca Berg (Reba McEntire, Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill) and Marshall Chapman (Jimmy Buffett, Wynonna, Olivia Newton-John), turns New York City into a Honky Tonk.

There's a Good Ol' Girl in all of us. Let yours out.

A Must See!
