Always… Patsy Cline is a heartfelt celebration of the legendary  country songstress. From the moment Texas housewife Louise Seger first  heard Patsy Cline’s voice, she was hooked. After quickly becoming  Cline’s biggest fan, Louise was able to meet her idol before a show one  surprising evening in Houston. That night sparked a deep friendship  between the two women which continued through the years, writing letters  to each other as Cline’s fame skyrocketed. Years after Cline’s tragic death, Louise reminisces on their friendship and her love for the  singer. Based on a true story, the musical features all of Patsy Cline’s  greatest hits and a heartfelt, down home good time.
