When Trisha Yearwood left Nashville to become part of Garth Brooks’ family in Oklahoma, she committed to helping him raise his three daughters, effectively giving her own career a lower priority.

Now that Garth has agreed to a five-year deal with Wynn Las Vegas, Trisha will wait even longer before she eventually pursues her current dream of landing a gig on the Great White Way. Trisha will join him on stage periodically during his engagement, which has him playing five weekends a year beginning Dec. 11.

Near the end of that run, they expect to move to New York, according to The Las Vegas Review Journal, so she can go after a role. She’s not sure what production she would want to join, though she knows for certain which one she’d rather not be in.

“I saw Reba McEntire in Annie Get Your Gun,” she told The Review Journal, “and I won’t be doing that because no one could do it any better.”

In the meantime, Trisha is slated to host a Christmas At Belmont concert Dec. 7 at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville. Also featuring Josh Turner, Melinda Doolittle and Brenda Lee, the event will be shot for a PBS holiday special airing Dec. 23.
