"I
wanted the space to have a sense of small-town-hominess and warmth, but
I also wanted to make sure it was transformable. We need to be able to
go to several locations, but at it's core the house and the music are
the heart of this show, so the band and the framework of the house are
always present. The rest of the show and design are built on top of
and around that base, so we always have it as a touchstone. Other than
that, I just wanted to give it a sense of fun. It's a fun show."

"We wanted to make all the costumes true to the time period and work
with the very distinctive 1970s Texan look. There are a lot of cowboy
hats and boots, Western-cut shirts, and jeans for the men, and the
Chicken Ranch girls all wear garments of shorter length and bright
colors with varying styles to reflect their individual personalities.
"It was important to us that the girls didn't look trashy, since the Chicken Ranch is a place where Miss Mona and the girls have control, and they have to maintain Miss Mona's standards for how the business is run. It was great to get to design for such a wide variety of characters, from prostitutes to tacky businessmen to pink gingham-clad chorus singers, and the fact that it's in 1973 added to the fun of it."
