One of the most beloved productions in Virginia Stage Company history returns to kick off the historic 40th Season. Always...Patsy Cline, previously performed at the Wells Theatre during the Virginia Stage's Season 18, celebrates the life and music of one of country music's most iconic voices. Explore her unlikely friendship with a Houston housewife as they bond over a pot of strong coffee, some dear letters between friends, and the beautiful tunes of Cline herself. You'll go "Crazy" over 27 of her biggest hits.
Director Amy Jones returns to Virginia Stage after previously directing the Season 39 opening hit musical, Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash.
Sandia Ahlers makes her debut with Virginia Stage in her role as Patsy Cline.
