"When country western recording star Patsy Cline died in 1963 in a plane crash at the age of 30, she had already recorded dozens of songs, including the classic hits "I Fall to Pieces," "Crazy," and "Walking after Midnight." More than fifty-five years later, Cline's legacy is still strong and her music still memorable. ...The musical Always...Patsy Cline...has been a steady favorite for regional theatre companies since it debuted in 1988, and Hale Centre Theatre's current production features two strong female leads, including Cori Cable Kidder who embodies the heart, soul and voice of Patsy Cline....focuses on the relationship Cline had with Louise Seger, a Houston housewife who befriended Cline at a concert in 1961. The two would become friends and exchange letters over the next two years, until Cline's sudden and unfortunate death. ...the plot of the show focusing on Seger as she reminisces about the time Cline spent the evening at Seger's home after her concert. With more than two dozen songs, including all of Cline's most famous tunes, intertwined amongst the memories Seger shares, this is a potent reminder of the musical accomplishments of Cline and the strong connection she had with her fans....Cori Cable Kidder is a knock-out as Cline. Her strong vocal abilities evoke Cline's signature singing style in every one of the songs, but her performance is more than mimicking this famous woman. ...Alaina Beauloye infuses Louise with a large dose of warmth combined with a big dollop of sass....a moving musical that perfectly honors the legacy of Patsy Cline." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
