Nashville's Always...Pasty Cline Show

Always...Patsy Cline comes to Nashville's Historic Ryman Auditorium. The show is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger.

The play focuses on the evening in a Houston Ballroom when Louise hears of Patsy's death in a plane crash. Louise narrates the story while Patsy floats in and out, singing the songs that made her famous - "Anytime," "Walkin' After Midnight," "She's Got You," "Sweet Dreams," and "Crazy" - just to name a few. The show also features other hit songs of the era.

This is a very popular show, so make sure to order your tickets early!

Seating

There are two seating options for this show - Tier 1 and Tier 2. Please see the Ryman Auditorium Seating Chart pictured below. Whichever option you choose to purchase, you will be assigned to the best available seating at the time your order is processed. No specific seating can be guaranteed and tickets are not confirmed until you receive your E-Ticket.

Tier 1 Seating (Yellow sections on the seating chart)
Tier 1 includes the "best of the best" seats - the front rows of the Orchestra (main floor) seating. It also includes the first few rows of the best Balcony seating, as those are also excellent seats.

Tier 2 Seating (Blue sections on the seating chart)
Tier 2 includes all other seats at the Ryman - many of which are outstanding seats...just a little behind the first tier in both the Balcony and on the Main Floor.

The Story

Louise Seger became an immediate and avid Patsy Cline fan from the moment she first heard her sing. She even hounded a local radio disc jockey to play Cline's records. Patsy came to Houston for a show in 1961. Louise and some of her friends arrived about 90 minutes early and by chance met Cline who was traveling alone to the show. The two women became fast friends and Patsy even stayed the night at Louise's house. Their friendship lasted until Patsy tragically died in a plane crash in 1963.

The relationship between the two women started out as a fan idolizing the singing star, but it evolved into a true friendship. It is the kind of relationship that many fans would like to have with their heroes.

Over a pot of strong coffee, the two women chatted about their common concerns. When Patsy left for her next job in Dallas, the two women exchanged addresses and telephone numbers. Louise fully expected never to hear from Patsy again. But, it wasn't long before Louise got the first of many letters and phone calls from her idol and friend. The pen-pal relationship between the two women provides much of the plot of the show.
