"I'm working on a project that will be announced soon that's for Broadway," she revealed to Houston radio station KILT. "But it's to bring country music to Broadway. I'm trying to merge those worlds together. I think a lot of Broadway musical fans, they don't realize are from the South or from middle America. That's who comes to see Broadway shows in New York. It will be really cool, so I'm excited about it. I'm a producer of it as well."
Laura Bell Bundy Heading Back to Broadway?
Laura Bell Bundy: Achin' & Shakin' on The Half Shell. I told you, it's going into the Helen Hayes.
Gross. No thanks.
Why do I think this is the Dolly musical?
It's called "Pure Country" or something close to that. It's been kickin around for a while.
"Pure Country" performed at the 2008 Bryant Park concert series too I believe with Lauren Kennedy.
Is she definitely in this? Wildhorn's "Bonnie & Clyde" is also very country music and I don't believe Laura Osnes is returning (although casting hasn't been announced). I could see her in either!
My first thought was the Dolly musical, too.
Sorry but it's the Aileen Wuornos musical.
Country Bear Jamboree:The Musical
Like this is the first time someone tried to do country on Broadway?

Please, God, can it be the Country Bears...
Then we can have an annual Christmas overlay if it's a hit. It'll start a trend with all the long runners.
A Mamma Mia Christmas.
Phantom Of The Christmas Party
The Polar Bear King
etc...
"The Polar Bear King"
Played by Alice Ripley AND Norm Lewis
I would love some Best Little Whorehouse...I wouldnt mind that....It could be more interesting with Reba or could be pleasing with Dolly souble Megan Hilty

ugh she annoys me to no end. can't act can barely sing the last role she was hired to perform. Every other girl since her has seemed to have very little problem with it..and this woman gets star treatment by the bway community...why? why?
What is she, brain damaged? Has she forgotten
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Big River
The Robber Bridegroom
Ring of Fire
Play Me A Country Song
Cowgirls (Off Bway)
Who can add to the list?
Didn't everyone under the sun audition for Pure Country?
I think there were a ton of people who auditioned for this role... remember that creepy "BroadwaySpotted" twitter? They listed a bunch of people, mostly Broadway's blondes & Glindas from what I remember!
I remember Kate Reinders and Jessica Philips auditioning. But I also mostly remember seeing a bunch of other Glinda names showing up.
Lauren Kennedy and Brandi Burkhardt also auditioned for it!
