(previews start on Tuesday; opens on Oct. 28) A Russian comedy-drama set to a country-and-western tune, this musical updates Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull" and sends it winging toward the American South. In place of a famous actress, we have a faded country star, newly returned to her Nashville family. Michael Kimmel wrote the book, Lauren Pritchard the honky tonk songs and ballads.
