Cast List | Production Staff
Always...Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with
Houston housewife Louise Seger. Having first heard Cline on the "Arthur Godfrey Show" in 1957, Seger became an
immediate and avid fan of Cline's and she constantly hounded the local disc
jockey to play Cline's records on the radio.
In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived
about an hour-and-a-half early and, by coincidence, met Cline who was traveling
alone. The two women struck up a friendship that was to culminate in Cline
spending the night at Seger's house--a friendship that lasted until Cline's
untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.
The play focuses on the fateful evening at Houston's Esquire Ballroom when Seger
hears of Cline's death in a plane crash. Seger supplies a narrative while Cline
floats in and out of the set singing tunes that made her famous--Anytime,
Walkin' After Midnight, She's Got You, Sweet Dreams, and Crazy--to name a few.
The show combines humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember Cline
while she was alive a chance to look back, while giving new fans an idea of what
seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans.
