George D. Morgan

In 1871 Virginia City was an engine of a town built on the foundation of penniless dreamers, fueled by the greed of the corporations that followed, and lubricated with the blood of crippled miners.

The "queen" of this kingdom was Cad Thompson - owner of the city's largest and most successful parlour house.

Entertainer, opportunist, entrepreneur, political manipulator - Cad Thompson was all of these and more.

The musical play NEVADA BELLE tells the true story of one of Thompson's many visits to New York - a recruiting mission for her Nevada brothels.

The entire play takes place in a set of railroad cars as Cad and her six latest recruits travel west on her return to Virginia City.
