Country legend Lorrie Morgan has just been cast in the Broadway-bound production of Pure Country, based on the hit movie which starred George Strait. Morgan joins fellow country star Joe Nichols who plays the part of 'Rusty' ('Dusty' in the movie), which was the part made famous by George Strait. Morgan will play the role of 'Lula,' Rusty's ruthless manager, played in the movie by Lesley Anne Warren.

"The Pure Country family is absolutely overjoyed to welcome Lorrie Morgan," producer Wreghitt said. "To have a Country music star of her caliber sets the artistic bar high and brings additional authenticity to the show. The combination of Joe Nichols and Lorrie Morgan promises to be a dream collaboration for Country music fans and for everyone who sees the show. We couldn't be more excited and proud to bring Pure Country and Lorrie Morgan to Broadway."

Morgan is equally enthusiastic to be part of the production, where she will make her Broadway debut. "I'm also looking forward to working with Joe Nichols." Morgan said. "He's an amazing talent and I hope country fans come on up to the big city to see us!"

Additional casting and dates for Pure Country will be announced in the coming weeks. You can find more information about the play on the Pure Country on Broadway website.
