Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical is an Off-Broadway musical with a book by Susan L. Schwartz, composed by Andrew Sherman, with Tom Kitt and Jonathan Callicutt providing additional music and lyrics. It is based on the 1978 pornographic film Debbie Does Dallas. The musical, like the movie, centers around high schooler Debbie and her friends' attempts to become Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders; however, the musical contains far less sexual content than the movie.
The show had its first run at the New York Fringe Festival. It was originally conceived and produced by Schwartz, who also starred as Debbie. The Araca Group bought the rights to produce the piece and opened it as a musical in 2002 at the Jane Street Theatre in New York City. Sherie Rene Scott starred in the musical as Debbie. Since its Off-Broadway run, other productions have taken place, notably in Sydney, Australia (2004) with Ben Steel,[1] in Dallas, Texas (2005)[2] and in San Francisco, California (2006).
