Join us Sunday, May 20 for the eighth and final play of the PLATO 2017-2018 nine-play Milwaukee theater trip series with Always...Patsy Cline performed in true cabaret fashion in the Stackner Cabaret.

The Remarkable Friendship Between a Fan and a Star

Always…Patsy Cline is the true story of country music legend Patsy Cline’s remarkable friendship with devoted fan Louise Seger. Filled with two dozen unforgettable hits – including “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Sweet Dreams” and “Walkin’ After Midnight” – Always . . . Patsy Cline celebrates the life and music of one of the most acclaimed vocalists of the 20th century. 

After its record-breaking sold-out engagement in 2012, Rep favorite Kelley Faulkner (Guys and Dolls, Ragtime) will return to play the title character in Always…Patsy Cline. In one of our all-time greatest Stackner hits, Faulkner dazzled audiences and earned rave reviews like this one from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:  

Faulkner hits every note while singing more than two dozen songs doing justice to Cline's wide-ranging repertoire: honky-tonk and western swing; rockabilly and rock 'n' roll; two emotionally charged spirituals and Cole Porter's 'True Love,' which Faulkner renders with simple beauty.
