Always… Patsy Cline Opens Lyric Theatre's 2011 Season
by BWW News Desk - Jan 26, 2011


Lyric Theatre, Oklahoma's leading professional theatre company, opens its 2011 Season with the country musical legend, Always... Patsy Cline. See 'the velvet-voice of country music' star, Patsy Cline, come to life this winter at Lyric Theatre's Plaza stage. This musical play, complete with down home country humor, true emotion and even some audience participation includes twenty-seven musical renditions of her unforgettable hits such as 'Crazy,' 'I Fall to Pieces,' 'Sweet Dreams,' 'Walking After Midnight' and 'Honky Tonk Merry Go Round.' The power of friendship between Patsy and her number one fan, Houston housewife, Louise Seger, is also explored. Having first heard Cline on 'The Arthur Godfrey Show' in 1957, Seger became an immediate and avid fan constantly hounding the local disc jockey to play Cline's records on the radio. Their relationship, which began as fan worship, evolved into one of mutual respect for one another. This endearing story combines humor with sincerity and gives fans, old and new, a chance to remember the most acclaimed female country vocalist of the 20th century.
