Coal Miner’s Daughter comes to Dunedin!
“Loretta Lynn paved the way for women like me in country music, to take centre stage”
– Amber Joy Poulton star of Coal Miner’s Daughter
In floor length gowns adorned with tassels and rhinestones, with hair as close to country music heaven as possible, where country music started and still should be, in the theatre, just like the Grand Ole Opry & it’s coming to New Zealand !
On Saturday, 18th October 2025, Amber Joy Poulton (as Loretta Lynn), Lizzie Moore (as Patsy Cline) & The Preacher Denis Surmon (as Conway Twitty & Willie Nelson) along with kickin’ band The Holy Men, will sing the story of a champion of women’s rights, a mother of six & a lifetime of chart topping hits to the country music lovers in Dunedin!
This inspiring theatre show was a smash hit at the 2025 Tamworth Country Music Festival and played to packed theatres across Australia since it’s debut in 2017 but it’s New Zealand that has been screaming out for a tour & the cast couldn’t be more excited for their first New Zealand tour in October 2025.
Coal Miner’s Daughter celebrates the incredible life of the late great Loretta Lynn, from her early days in the hills of Kentucky to her tempestuous marriage, tragic losses and enduring bonds with such luminaries as Patsy Cline, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, across a stellar career, till her final send off to country music heaven in October 2022.
On their return to the stage post covid for their 2022 tour, Amber Joy Poulton & the cast of Coal Miner’s Daughter played to more than 10,000 people across Australia and in an eerie twist of fate, were performing opening night at the very moment of Loretta’s sad passing in Tennessee last year.
Audiences will be captivated by the masterful storytelling, performances and catalogue of hits, including ‘Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ With Lovin’ On Your Mind’, ‘I Fall To Pieces’, ‘You Ain’t Woman Enough To Take My Man’, ‘Crazy’, ‘Silver Threads & Golden Needles’, ‘Walkin’ After Midnight’, ‘You’re Lookin’ At Country’, ‘One’s On The Way’, ‘Stand By Your Man’, ‘After The Fire Is Gone’ and more. This is a show not to be missed and with the passing of the great Loretta Lynn, there is no better time to celebrate her music.
