Country singer Joe Nichols is heading to Broadway.
Country music’s Joe Nichols is about to add Broadway to his professional resume. Yep, the four-time Grammy nominee is heading to the big stage come next year.
"Pure Country is thrilled to welcome Joe Nichols to the family," Wreghitt said. "Not only does Joe bring his incredible talents to the project, but an understanding and authenticity to the role of 'Rusty' (originally 'Dusty' in the movie) that his fans and fans of the movie are going to love. We are very excited and proud to bring Pure Country and Joe Nichols to Broadway."
As for Nichols, who’s already got Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association trophies among his credits, he’s excited to try his hand at acting on the live stage.
Strait starred in 1992's film version of Pure Country.
"The opportunity to perform on Broadway is very exciting, and at the same time a little bit scary," said Nichols, a native of Rogers, Ark. "I saw Reba on the red carpet at the ACMs ... and she gave me a few tips. She also told me it will be one of the best experiences of my life.
In the meantime, Nichols’ "Believers," the lead single from his new CD, which will be in stores later this year, premiered the single in Las Vegas last week during a brunch for radio and media. The performance of "Believers," as well as the rest of Nichols' impressive hit list, resulted in a standing ovation during the Vegas visit.
Joe Nichols went to No. 3 with "The Impossible" in 2002, a song penned by Kelley Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller.
