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.
Always...Patsy Cline concludes on Sunday, September 30 with a matinee performance at 2pm and an added evening performance at 7:30pm. Tickets range $20 - $55, with special discounts available for military, students, and groups.
Memberships are going fast for the full season with prices ranging from $99 - $299. Titles for Virginia Stage Company's 40th Anniversary Season include the community-driven Our Town, Alison Bechdel's Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home, Pulitzer Prize-winning Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, and more!
