CRAZY - About Patsy Cline
Join us at the Queen Street Playhouse for a special music event as Footlight favorite and renowned jazz and cabaret singer Maggie Worsdale pays tribute to the original ‘Queen of Country Music’ Patsy Cline in her one-woman concert CRAZY - About Patsy Cline.
Patsy Cline was born on September 8, 1932, in Winchester, Virginia. Cline performed for nearly a decade before her breakthrough 1957 television appearance, singing "Walking after Midnight." She went on to perform many crossover pop and country hits, including "Crazy" and "I Fall To Pieces," becoming one of the leading Nashville figures before her death in a plane crash in 1963, in Camden, Tennessee. 62 years after her death, Patsy Cline is still considered one of the top 5 female country singers of all time.
In this special musical tribute event Maggie Worsdale pays loving tribute to this earthy and innovative legend who put the Nashville sound on the map and paved the way for future country singers. This tribute is not an imitation of Patsy Cline as Maggie’s performance is presented in a jazz/country style, multi-media concert singing Cline’s songs and sharing little known stories about her life and career.
