As far-fetched as it sounds that an institution of higher education in the supposedly cosmopolitan and enlightened Commonwealth of Massachusetts would force its student drama club to cancel a well-known play merely because of the word whorehouse in the title, Heinstadt assured the Phoenix that this was precisely the case.
Its inspiration was a nonfiction account by Larry L. King (not to be confused with the television talk-show host) of the closing of the Chicken Ranch, a once-popular Texas brothel.
One of the ironies of the Whorehouse controversy is that the play aroused no protest at Wheelock, where women make up more than 90 percent of the student body.

 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In parts of the United States in 1982, the word "whorehouse" was considered somewhat obscene, resulting in the film being renamed The Best Little Cathouse in Texas in some advertisements, while television advertisements for the film were either banned outright in some areas, or the offending word was censored.

 The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas: Theatre: Joseph Bowen: CenterstageChicago.com
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, first on Broadway in 1978, should be in that category, but the current revival at the Oriental Theatre misses the mark for one reason: the star in this star-vehicle.
Way downstage, there's Ann-Margaret (in her stage debut), facing directly out to the audience at every opportunity, mangling her solo songs (and not just because of her throat infection, which we were informed about at intermission) by turning them into Las Vegas-style numbers, instead of the tuneful country songs they used to be.
Based on the true story of the 1973 closing of the Chicken Ranch brothel run by Edna Milton, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas tells the story of Miss Mona (Ann-Margaret), whose Chicken Ranch is under fire by right-wing groups, led by television crusader Melvin P. Thorpe (Rob Donahoe) and an anything-to-get-re-elected Governor (Ed Dixon).
