The two titans in their own right will play women who team up to save their town’s gospel choir on the brink of closing down.
Dolly’s character is the former choir director’s widow, while Queen plays a mom to two teenagers, who is appointed director of the Pacashau Gospel Choir.
The man behind the indie favorite Camp, Todd Graff, is writing and directing the film.

Personally, I can’t wait, and I’ll be downloading the soundtrack as soon as it drops on iTunes.
