ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE to Play Gem Theatre, 4/7-5/1
ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE, opens on Apr. 7 at Garden Grove's historic GEM THEATRE presented by the award-winning One More Productions - one of Southern California's leading musical theater companies.
ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with a wisecracking Houston housewife, Louise Seger. Seger becomes an immediate and avid fan of Patsy Cline after hearing Cline on the "Arthur Godfrey Show" in 1957. By chance, they meet at Patsy's concert which starts a friendship that lasts until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.
Over a pot of strong coffee, the two women spend the night chatting about their common concerns about life and family. Their relationship continues through letters and phone calls from Cline.
The music of Patsy Cline weaves through a narration of her life and the entire performance is backed by a 6-piece live country band.
The show combines humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember Cline 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.
ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE is directed by Damien Lorton and written by Ted Swindley. The cast includes Nicole Cassesso as the incomparable Patsy Cline and Dee Shandera as Louise Seger.
Performances run from Thursday, Apr. 7 through Sunday, May 1 at the GEM THEATRE. Thursdays - Saturdays, show starts at 8 pm and Sundays, show starts at 2 pm.
General admission tickets are $26 each, $23 for seniors (60 and over), and $18 for Children (12 years old and under). In addition, $15 Student Rush Tickets are available for Thursday and Friday performances only. Opening Gala Night Event Tickets, for Saturday, Apr. 9, are $40 each and ticket holders receive an exclusive invitation to attend the post-show catered champagne Gala with the cast.
