A special encore performance of “Always … Patsy Cline” will be presented by PCPA Theaterfest at the Chumash Casino Resort’s Samala Showroom at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21. Tickets for the show are $30.

“Always… Patsy Cline” is based on Honky Tonk Angel, a Patsy Cline biography that chronicles the real-life meeting and friendship between Cline and her most devoted fan, Louise Seger. It is complete with down-home humor, true emotion and the story of a relationship that any fan would dream of having with their idol.

The musical premiered in 1988, and it’s an up-close look at Cline through the letters she wrote Seger and signed “Love Always … Patsy.” The show has played regional theaters across the country as well as off-Broadway, and played to sold-out houses for over a year at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, former home of the Grand Ol Opry.

Cline was at the pinnacle of her career when she died tragically in a plane crash on March 5, 1963, at age 30. Her legacy lives on in a stack of hit recordings that show off the remarkable talents of the cross-over pop and country artist. She also recorded honky-tonk songs and experimented with rockabilly. Her song “I Fall to Pieces” was her first No. 1 country hit. It also reached No. 12 on pop charts and No. 6 on adult contemporary radio.
