COWBOY
CAFE CAST GIVES STELLAR PERFORMANCE -
Dottie Ashley, The Post and Courier, July 7, 1996
. . . . Bonnie
Bramlett
plays the cafe's owner, "Billie Joe", an aspiring singer/song-writer and
legendary barbecue queen, who cooks up a plan to burn down the cafe for
the insurance money. Make no mistake, Bramlett still has the
star quality she exuded in the 1970s when she sang with the likes of
Leon Russell and Joe Cocker, in a career to music stardom that began as
a back-up vocalist for Tina Tuner and recording success with the group,
Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. The role of Billie Joe is a
departure from the sassy biker/waitress she played on TV's Roseanne
for two seasons. As the owner of the down-and-out cafe and motel, she
brings megawatts of energy to the stage, whether singing her
show-stopping numbers or playing the role of the worried business-woman,
arsonist, and mother of two grown daughters.
Producers T.G. Solomon and Absolute Films II, LLC,
presented a company of COWBOY CAFE, opening June 27,
1996, at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center and moving to the Garden Theater
in Charleston, South Carolina, where it opened on July 6, 1996.
