This event is 21 and over. $20 adv / $25 dos.

Minnesota acoustic duo The Frye portrays a vintage pop-country act on the brink of a breakup in “The Best of Hank and Rita: A Barroom Operetta in One Act,” coming Sunday, April 3, to The High Noon Saloon in Madison. “The Best of Hank and Rita” is a real-time performance by the fictional title couple, who had two brief hit singles in the mid-1970s and now, circa 1986, find themselves at one of their smallest The show opens with audio of Rita’s breakup letter, written earlier that day and left at the hotel for Hank to find after the show. After too much heartbreak, disillusion and humiliation, the letter states, she’s leaving but giving herself “one last good time” on the stage — the only place the two have ever worked well.
