Always... Patsy Cline
Starring
Sally Struthers
& Christa Jackson
Jan. 26 thru Feb.
5
Always Patsy Cline is more than a tribute to the
legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963.
The show is based on a true story about
Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas
honky-tonk in 1961, and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death.
The musical play, complete with down home country
humor, true emotion and even some audience participation, includes many of Patsy' unforgettable
hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Waking After Midnight, 27 songs in
all.
$50
