Beaufort, SC- The University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts is pleased to present “Always…Patsy Cline” performed by the Beaufort Theater Company on October 7th-9th and 14th-15th. The musical is based on a true story about the friendship between Patsy, who sang some of the most recognizable songs in American music history, and a devoted fan, Louise Seger.
Louise (played by Gail Westerfield) narrates the play from letters that Cline wrote to her after they met in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961. Their correspondence continued until the singer’s tragic death in a plane crash in 1963.
Throughout the show, Patsy (played by Maggy Norden) sings 27 songs with a live band including, “I Fall to Pieces,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “Sweet Dreams,” and “Crazy,” to name a few.
According to Bonnie Hargrove, producer of the show, “The universal appeal of ‘Always…Patsy Cline’ is one of the reasons it was selected for the USCB Center for the Arts’ second season. Patsy Cline was the queen of country music, but she’s also a crossover favorite.”
“Country music is more popular than ever, and Patsy Cline’s songs are timeless,” stated Westerfield, who also directs the show. “Patsy Cline was the first female country performer to play at Carnegie Hall; she is one of the most successful and influential vocalists of the 20th century.”
“Always…Patsy Cline,” after a successful off-Broadway run, has been performed throughout the country, becoming one of the most produced musicals in the United States, in addition to touring Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.
“Always…Patsy Cline” will be performed October, 7, 8, 14, 15 at 7:30 PM with one matinee on Sunday, October 9 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $22 for adults, $18 for senior/military, and $15 for youth. Group rates are available for 10 or more. For tickets or additional information, please call the USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145, Tuesday – Friday 10:00am- 2:00pm.
