A New Country Musical Comedy!

Larry Gatlin

“COUNTRY BACK ROADS ARE WELL WORTH PURSUING”
says Ben Brantley of The New York Times.

On the eve of Country music legend Jimmy John Angel’s Reunion Concert with his ex-wife and even bigger star, Dixie Diamond, Jimmy John’s life of unscrupulous trickery--on stage and off – is exposed in this cross between KISS ME KATE and THE GRAND OLE OPRY. Featuring over a dozen Gatlin hits plus 4 more written exclusively for the musical—this brand new musical comedy is sure to delight fans of both Country Music and the classic Broadway musical!
