Always...Patsy
Cline
by Ted Swindley
April 9 - May 2
Directed by Chester
Eitze
starring Terry Lyne
Moore as Patsy Cline and Engela Edwards as Louise Seger
Read more about
the show at http://www.alwayspatsycline.net/
Produced by special
arrangement with Ted Swindley Productions.
“Always…Patsy Cline”
has enjoyed great success all over the United States, including a successful
run off-Broadway. It has been one of the most produced musicals in America
according to American Theatre Magazine.
“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 l961, 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.
The show’s title was inspired by Cline's letters to Seger, which were consistently
signed "Love ALWAYS... Patsy Cline.”
