A musical based in Kentucky and filled with gospel music will fill the Corinth Coliseum in January.
“Kentucky Spring,” a musical that originated at the famous Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia, will open on Jan. 16.
“We are excited to have this musical open regionally here at the coliseum,” said Corinth Coliseum Director Patrick Hudson.
Tickets are $24 for adults and $18 for military, first responders and students. Tickets are available at corinthcoliseum.com.
Group rates for 10 or more people are available by calling the coliseum box office at 662-664-5678.
Showings are at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16, 17, 19, 21, 23 and 24. A 2 p.m. matinee is Jan 22.
The musical tells the story of Becky (Leanne Williams) who worked all her life to get out of the mountains. Her grandmother, Maud (Jan Soltz) decides to sell the family farm and forces Becky to confront who she is and who she wants to be. It is described as a story of love, longing and second chances set in the Appalachian Mountains.
It also stars Gavin Lane as Heck, Dan Marsh as Judge Parker and Samuel Slone as Charles.
Kelly Crabb and the Bowling Sisters will take the coliseum stage on Jan. 20.
“It will be a night of traditional and Southern gospel singing,” said Hudson.
Crabb is a member of the famous gospel music family that separated to take individual paths in 2006. The group is on a 10-month tour of the Southeast with other stops in Oklahoma City and Bakersfield, California.
Tickets are $15 and available on the coliseum website. Group rate tickets are also available by calling the coliseum.
