Photos: Meet The Cast of HONKY TONK ANGELS At Meadow Brook Theatre

Honky Tonk Angels, by Ted Swindley, runs from April 26 through May 21, 2023, at Meadow Brook Theatre on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester Hills.

Country hits like "Stand By Your Man," "9 to 5" and "Harper Valley PTA" tell the tale of three gutsy gals who follow their dreams of being country music stars. They may come from different backgrounds, but all roads to stardom lead to Nashville.

"There are more than 30 country hits in this show," says Travis W. Walter, MBT artistic director. "And our three "angels" are such great actors. Our audiences are going to love this."

The three Honky Tonk Angels are played by Jacqueline Petroccia (Sue Ellen), Lannie Rubio (Darlene) and Stacy White (Angela). Rounding out the cast are Mary Magyari and Antonio Vettriano.

Honky Tonk Angels is directed by Travis W. Walter, with musical direction by Zachary Ryan. Choreography is by Debbie Williams. Scenic design is by Christa Tausney, costume design by Leslie Littell, lighting design by Scott Ross, and sound design by Mike Duncan. Lannie Rubio is the dance captain. Brittanie Nichole Sicker is the stage manager and Lee Cleaveland is the assistant stage manager.

In addition to musical direction, Zachary Ryan directs the band and plays keyboard. The rest of the band includes Sig Hepler (guitar), Louis Jones III (drums), Michael McGillivray (fiddle), Jackson Stone (bass) and Andrew Toering (pedal steel guitar).
