Sutton Foster, Broadway star and two-time Tony winner, will take on the role of country music legend Loretta Lynn in the upcoming bio-musical 'Coal Miner's Daughter'. Directed by Sam Gold, the production is based on Lynn's autobiography and the acclaimed 1980 film. Foster's casting received positive acknowledgment from Lynn's family, who expressed gratitude for continuing her mother's legacy. This role marks Foster's return to a leading position on stage since her notable performance in 'The Music Man' in 2022, further cementing her strong presence in the theater community.
"We are so grateful to see that our mother's life story and music will continue to touch the hearts of audiences and remain an important statement of the American dream," Lynn's family said.
"The part will be Foster's first lead stage role since her Tony-nominated performance in 2022's The Music Man, opposite now-beau Hugh Jackman."
