ALWAYS, PATSTY CLINE is a musical tribute to Patsy Cline and is based on the true story of her friendship with Houston housewife, Louise Seger.

When the great Patsy Cline gave a show in Houston, the two women met and struck up a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963. As seen through Louise's eyes, the show offers fans - both old and new - a chance to see the American original and dazzling star that was Patsy Cline.
