Emmy Award nominee Madeline Brewer will lead the cast of the US premiere of the new musical Wild Rose as Rose-Lynn Harlan.

Wild Rose runs November 24-January 10, with an opening night on December 14, at New York Theatre Workshop.

Written by BAFTA winner Nicole Taylor, Wild Rose is directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner John Tiffany and choreographed by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett and Vicki Manderson. Music supervision is by Tony Award winner Sarah Travis and Nadia DiGiallonardo.

Based on the 2018 film by the same writer, Wild Rose is about Rose-Lynn, fresh out of jail for some past mistakes and wanting to escape Glasgow, Scotland to chase her dream of being a country music singer in America. Her mother Marion insists that she settle down, ditch the fantasy, and focus on raising her two young kids. Rose-Lynn reluctantly agrees to take a cleaning job and finds an unlikely champion in her new boss Susannah.

This US premiere production will feature songs from country music artists including Wynonna Judd, the Chicks, Patty Griffin, Caitlyn Smith, Chris Stapleton, and more, alongside the film’s award-winning original song “Glasgow (No Place Like Home).”

Additional casting and the full creative team will be announced at a later date.
