Who Played Rhetta Cupp in Pump Boys and Dinettes

Rhetta Cupp is a role in Pump Boys and Dinettes, a musical that opened Off-Broadway in 1981.

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. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on and off Broadway. With heartbreak and hilarity, they perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils.
