"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."

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.

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...

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.
