(Radio.com) Late country singer Mindy McCready is about to be honored in a big way. A new musical is coming to Los Angeles that focuses on the life of the troubled performer.

McCready the Musical, starring Jennifer Blake--who has credits in Zoolander, The Stepford Wives and Behaving Badly--will trace McCready's rise to fame and high profile relationships with Dean Cain and Roger Clemens.

What we've done since is re-imagined what happened in those situations and those conversations in all the research we've done."
