The Grand 1894 Opera House presents Broadway's delightfully down-home musical, Pump Boys and Dinettes, Sunday, February 12, 2017 at 5 pm. Tickets may be purchased at The Grand's Box Office, 2020 Postoffice Street, by calling 409.765.1894, 800.821.1894, or online at www.thegrand.com.

A little strip of highway along rural North Carolina has become THE place for a fill-up, some fried chicken, and a large helping of down-home music! Set in a diner and garage, the Tony-nominated musical, Pump Boys and Dinettes, follows four gas station mechanics and two sisters who waitress at the nearby "Double Cupp Diner," as they share their homey takes on life, love, Dolly Parton, and catfish! Between changing tires and baking pies, the gang at this Highway 57 road stop performs a rousing, down-home mix of country western, rock 'n' roll, and blue grass in a charming tale of friendship, romance and life's simple pleasures.

From haunting ballads to an ode to grandma and one to all honky-tonk joints everywhere, Pump Boys and Dinettes thoroughly engages audiences. Moving from plaintive to jubilant, the musical's original score evokes country radio staples ranging from the pound-the-piano country rock of Jerry Lee Lewis to heart-sore tales of absent men evoking the music of Tammy Wynette. The performance is sponsored in part by Chemiplas, Galveston Restaurant Association and REDEVELOPMENT Services.
