At Bryant Park this summer, Lauren Kennedy performed with two other people (both of whose names I forgot, but one was in High Fidelity) in a musical featuring country songs (and yes, I also forgot the name of it). Anyways, whatever happened with this musical? I was confused at the time because Lauren was going to perform in Vanities, but I wasn't sure if this was something she was going to try to fit in between her Vanities schedule.

You mean Lone Star Love? Are you sure you're not thinking of last year? Cuz that show got cancelled because Randy Quaid (the star) was a bigger ass in that show than Michael Crawford in Dance of the Vampires.

I think you might be talking about Pure Country? I think Jeb Brown performed at Broadway in Bryant Park. A different actor performed a song at Broadway on Broadway. It seemed like it was moving forward and having an out of town tryout?

is that the one based on the movie with George Strait? it had two pretty big country songs that have become kinda standards. i remember reading they had signed a soap star as the lead...and i think Pete WHOREHOUSE Masterson was/is attached. The movie was PURE COUNTRY, i think the musical tried HEARTLAND as a title for a while, but may have reverted back to PURE COUNTRY. i don't think LOVE was ever in the title.
