Coal Miner’s Daughter, Loretta Lynn’s bestselling autobiography-turned-smash-hit movie, is heading to Broadway, with two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster to play the role of the late, legendary country music icon.

Currently in development, the stage musical adaptation will be directed by Sam Gold, with music production by Jeanine Tesori.

The two last worked together on the Tony-winning hit 2015 musical Fun Home. The stage adaptation will include songs from Lynn’s career and stories from her life, some beyond the 1980 film’s ending.

Patsy Lynn, Loretta Lynn’s manager, producer, and daughter, will serve as a consulting producer on the project, along with Loretta’s longtime adviser Nancy Russell.
