The splendid sound of country music fills every moment of this new musical with life, from heartfelt hoedown to glorious gospel to timeless two-step. Facing the twilight of a storied career, the country's reigning queen of country music struggles to stay true to the music she loves in a changing world. Her meddling mother and her up-and-coming pop-star sister challenge her at every turn... but a secret from their past will change all of their lives forever. Filled with humor and high drama, it's a compelling, vital American story set to a classic American sound!
