If mechanical bulls and luscious cowboys capture your eye, you're in luck -- Urban Cowboy the Musical is coming to the State Theatre this Sunday.

Based on the 1980 hit movie starring John Travolta and Debra Winger, this Broadway musical comes complete with "toe-tappin' country-western hits" and bull-riding excitement.

Aaron Latham, the original author and screenwriter, wrote the musical. The score features a wide range of country tunes including songs from the original film score such as "Lookin' for Love In All the Wrong Places," "Could I Have This Dance?" and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." The score also includes original compositions written for the musical as well as modern hits by contemporary musicians like Clint Black, Toby Keith, and Brooks and Dunn.

Urban Cowboy the Musical tells the story of Bud, a revolutionary breed of cowboy: one who is looking for true love. However, he goes searching for this love in the biggest dive in the West. His romance with his newfound wife, Sissy, is played out against a gritty landscape of oilfields, trailer parks and a sawdust-covered dance floor. Nights on the dance floor are brought alive by booze, brawls, chicks and a legendary mechanical bull.

"It actually looks awesome, and I was amazed that the riders for the most part were able to stay on the darn contraption," David Richardson, WOR radio reviewer, said of the mechanical bull.

The musical is produced by Windwood Theatricals, a booking agency based in Virginia that produces many national shows. Urban Cowboy is a new twist on musicals, one that promises to appeal to the classic musical fan and also to the country music fan.

"The show is, however, bouncy, fresh and just a whole lot of fun if you like country and western music, some of which came from the movie and some of which is brand new and some of which was culled from all sorts of places," Richardson said.
