SHOW INFORMATION

THE COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER

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. Official Website Here

House Information

Seating Plan

Accessibility

We pride ourselves on being one of the most accessible venues in the city. We have flat access through our main doors and staff are more than happy to help with the doors if needed. Taxis can drop off and pick up patrons from outside these doors and we can order a taxi for you after the show. There are accessible toilets on the lower level and a roomy lift provides access both to these facilities and to the Stalls seating. Seats in the Circle are accessed via several flights of stairs so we recommend patrons with mobility difficulties book seats in the Stalls. We have seven dedicated wheelchair spaces. We also have opera glasses available for hire for $5 at the Box Office – just ask when you come in. We encourage our patrons to discuss their needs with us so we can ensure they enjoy the show.

Bar Service

Our bars have a selection of New Zealand wines and beers as well as juices, water, light snacks and ice creams. The bars will be closed five minutes before the show’s published start time.

Theatre Etiquette

People come to the Regent Theatre to have a great night out. So everyone has a good time, we ask all our patrons to be courteous to those around them.

Please turn off all your electronic devices before you come into the auditorium.
If you have taken snacks from our bar back to your seat, try not to rustle when the house lights go down.
If you are late to a show, get comfortable in our bar area until we can turn the house lights back on so you can find your seat.
Camera flashes occasionally make performers stumble – over their lines or their feet – so we prefer that you don’t use flash (or any other) photography.
Please keep your feet on the floor – someone counting the beat on the back of your seat can be distracting.
Dancing in the aisles sounds like fun but it might make our Circle collapse. If you really need to dance (and it’s the right sort of show), please book seats in the Stalls or make your way out to the foyer.
We encourage you to introduce your children to the arts, but please also teach them to watch and listen quietly and peacefully.
