The 'Pump Boys' sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country and the 'Dinettes', Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. To look at it, you wouldn’t know that this little stop on the highway is where all the action is, but when the boys get the guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils revved up, you won’t want to be anywhere else. "Pump Boys and Dinettes" is packed with highly entertaining toe-tappers such as “Drinkin’ Shoes,” “Farmer Tan” and “The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine!”
The cast includes Jacquie Jo Billings, Barry Brown, Mitch Jervis, Steve Klein, Margie Lamb and Daniel Langhoff.
"Pump Boys and Dinettes" was nominated for both Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Musical and became the longest-running musical in Chicago theatre history.
