Zooey Deschanel To Star on Broadway
New Girl star Zooey Deschanel will play Loretta Lynn in a Broadway production of The Coal Miner’s Daughter this year.
On Thursday night at a country music show in Nashville, singer Loretta Lynn announced she will bring her life story to the stage and had asked Deschanel to play her.
Lynn then brought Deschanel onto the stage to sing Coal Miner’s Daughter.
Deschanel told the audience that Lynn was her hero and is excited to star in this new musical.
She also posted a photo of the night to her Facebook page with the comment “BEST NIGHT!”
‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ is the autobiographical story of Lynn’s childhood in rural Kentucky. She wrote it as a book in 1976 and it was later turned into a film in 1980.
