A stage adaptation of the life of country music legend Loretta Lynn is in development, with Tony Award-winning actress Sutton Foster set to portray the late singer.

The Broadway production, titled “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” will draw inspiration from Lynn’s 1976 autobiography and an acclaimed biographical film of the same name, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
