ON THE TERRY MARTIN MAIN STAGE

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 the true story of Cline’s friendship with Louise Seger, a devoted fan from Houston who met the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961. The two began a correspondence that continued until Cline’s death. Filled with down-home country humor, heartfelt emotion, and even some audience participation, the musical features many of Patsy’s unforgettable hits, including “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Walkin’ 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.”
