Sutton Foster Cast as Loretta Lynn in Broadway Adaptation of 'Coal Miner's Daughter'

The musical will chronicle Lynn's journey from rural Kentucky to country music stardom, featuring her iconic songs and untold stories.

The Broadway musical is based on Loretta Lynn's 1976 autobiography and the Oscar-winning 1980 film 'Coal Miner's Daughter.'
Two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster will portray the late country music legend, a role Lynn personally approved before her death in 2022.
The production is directed by Tony-winning Sam Gold with music by Jeanine Tesori, reuniting the team behind the acclaimed musical 'Fun Home.'
The stage adaptation will include Lynn's classic hits and explore aspects of her life beyond the events depicted in the film.
Loretta Lynn's family, including her daughter and manager Patsy Lynn, are involved as consulting producers to honor her legacy.
