Friday-Sunday, June 17-19, 7:30 p.m.

TPAC, 505 Deaderick Street, Nashville

Musical comedy may we all just had its opening night this week and will run through July. It’s the story of a small-town girl who aims for a career in country music in Nashville. In the end, it is his hometown that brings him a great opportunity. While loyal country music fans might not find the classic country songs easily recognizable, it’s comparable to thinking that Broadway actors might rap in Hamilton compared to artists like Drake. The refreshing moment is that country artists will be making appearances. I got to see Lainey Wilson performing a song, if only she could have had another song, the audience wanted more. Put it on your list, it’s definitely worth seeing this heartwarming story of small towns coming together and supporting each other.
