Always Patsy Cline is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. It is all about Patsy and Louise; they"re the only characters appearing in the play. Director Todd Dellinger managed to find two performers to fill the roles not just adequately but sensationally. Patsy does most of the singing, while Louise does most of the talking. The play mainly focuses on the fateful evening at Houston's Esquire Ballroom when Seger hears of Cline's death in a plane crash. Having first heard Cline, an impressive Selena Rosanbalm, on the "Arthur Godfrey Show" in 1957, Seger became an immediate and avid fan of hers. A bubbly Edie Elkjer, Seger befriended the star in a honky-tonk in l961 and constantly hounded the local disc jockey to play Cline's records on the radio. She continued a correspondence with Cline until the singer"s untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.

In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived about an hour-and-a-half early and, by coincidence, met Cline. The two women struck up a friendship that was to culminate in Cline spending the night at Seger's house. It was a friendship that lasted until the star"s untimely death in a plane crash in 1963.Seger tells her story while Cline wanders in and out, singing the songs that made her famous. Some of these songs were "Crazy," "Walkin" "After Midnight," and "I Fall To Pieces", engaging in moments of dialogue with Seger. The pen-pal relationship provides much of the plot of the musical. Over a pot of strong coffee, the two women talked about their common concerns. The two women exchanged their telephone numbers and addresses when Cline finally left for Dallas. Seger never expected to hear from Cline again. To her surprise, Seger received the first of many letters and phone calls from the star.

With a band made up of some of the most seasoned and smart swing musicians, the honky-tonk rocks. The musical is a blend of humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans a chance to look back, while giving new fans an idea of what seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans.
