Overview
- The Off-Broadway engagement, confirmed Friday as part of NYTW's upcoming season, will play in the fall with dates to be announced.
- Tony- and Olivier-winning director John Tiffany will helm the production, reuniting at NYTW with choreographer Steven Hoggett and co-choreographer Vicki Manderson under music supervision by Sarah Travis.
- Screenwriter Nicole Taylor has adapted her 2018 film for the stage, which follows a young Glaswegian mother chasing a country music dream in Nashville.
- Rehearsals begin October 12, casting is still in progress for a mostly U.S. company, and film star Jessie Buckley has voiced support without joining the production.
- The creative team is reshaping the show for NYTW’s intimate space with a more acoustic feel, featuring songs like Dolly Parton’s Baby I’m Burnin’, Lynn Anderson’s Rose Garden, and the film’s Glasgow (No Place Like Home), with producers attached and long-term transfer hopes set aside for now.
