Nine-time Grammy-award winners Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel are proud to present A Ride With Bob: The Bob Wills Musical, the first-ever musical drama about the legendary Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys.
In 1973 after the release of the band’s first album (which paid tribute to the music of Bob Wills), Benson was invited by his idol to Dallas for a meeting. Upon his arrival, he learned Wills was not feeling well and the meeting was postponed for the next morning. That same night Wills had a stroke and went into a life-ending coma. In A Ride With Bob, Benson finally gets to have his conversation with the ghost of Bob, who visits him on his tour bus late one night bound for Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom. The fascinating and sometimes outrageous stories of Wills’ career and his raucous personal life unfold. The riveting drama includes performances of Wills’ most famous songs including “San Antonio Rose,” “Faded Love,” “Cherokee Maiden,” “Take Me Back to Tulsa,” and many more.
Packing houses everywhere it goes, the award winning A Ride With Bob is a smooth ride thanks to a fantastic cast and more jaw-dropping musicianship that you can shake a fiddle at. Ray Benson has spent a lot of time talking with members of the Texas Playboys and others who knew Will personally. The Playboys told Benson, “Bob would have been very proud of what you’ve done,” and that means a lot. Judging by the popularity of this show, Bob Willis spirit lives on.Call the Box Office at (918) 699-7390 for more information!
