ALWAYS…PATSY CLINE
Always…Patsy Cline is the true story of the legendary country singer’s friendship with Louise Seger, a super fan she met at a Texas honky-tonk in 1961. The two corresponded until the star’s tragic death in a plane crash in 1963. Featuring twenty-seven unforgettable hits including Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams, and Walking After Midnight, this musical brings the story of one of America’s most celebrated artists to life with down-home country humor and true emotion.
