A musical fantasy
and one of Broadways
longest running
shows ever!
But it is
not to
old-time
Italian
stagecraft
alone that
the show
pays
homage. As
with its
Gallic
source
material,
the story is
a light
parody of
Romeo and
Juliet,
with
lashings of
the Bard
evinced
through its
verse,
prose,
soliloquies,
and dramatic
couplets.
The
ingredients
are simple:
a boy (Sam
Neely), a
girl (Cherie
Evans), two
fathers (Jim
Zieliński
and Craig
Reinhart),
and a
wall…its
stage, a
basic
platform,
its scenery,
a tattered
cardboard
moon. As a
sort of
reflection
of
Our Town,
a narrator
(Darrin
Windham)
spins the
simple tale,
aided by an
onstage
property man
(Daniel
Yearta) who,
giving a nod
to the muse
of oriental
theatre is,
for all
purposes,
“invisible.”
An old actor
(Ron Harris)
and his
sidekick
(Robbie
Shafer) echo
the
rude
mechanicals
of
A Midsummer
Night’s
Dream,
assisting in
a plot to
bring the
two
ostensibly
feuding
families
together via
“betrothal
by proxy.”
Great
musical moments
abound!
Directed by Gary Lee
Knight.

PATSY CLINE
is the story of the
country music legend
as told through the
eyes of a Houston
housewife, Louise
Segar, who got to
know Patsy during
her short but
amazing career.
The
show features
Patsy's famous tunes
such as
I Fall To Pieces,
Walkin' After
Midnight and
Crazy. Patsy
Cline is considered
by many to be the
first female
country/pop
cross-over artist.
Her songs often
hitting the top of
both charts. Her
career was unsteady,
her life was filled
with tragedy.
She was killed in
a 1963 private plane
crash along with
other famous country
musicians. They were
returning to
Nashville after a
benefit concert in
memory of a popular
country music DJ who
had been killed
earlier in the year.
She is remembered
for her booming
voice and charming
performance style.
Patsy Cline's fans
are still
considerable in
number. Newly
recorded versions of
her famous songs
made fresh by today's top
country singers keep
her memory alive..
