More than just a musical (BONUS: you get dinner, too), the
show is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with Houston fan Louise
Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in l961. All the favorite and memorable songs you love
of Cline’s are here: Crazy, I Fall to
Pieces, Sweet Dreams and more. It’s a nostalgic journey back in time and a
timeless tribute to one of country’s most beloved and best singers.
