Convay plays Patsy Cline

The Potato Shed is inviting country music lovers to Drysdale for a national tribute to the legendary Patsy Cline this weekend.
Always … Patsy Cline is the true-life story of country icon’s lifelong friendship with Louise Seger, who she met in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961.
The musical includes 27 Patsy Cline songs with hits like I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams, Crazy, Walkin’ After Midnight and She’s Got You.
It will be a treat for Cline’s original fans and window into her life for a new generation of country music lovers, promoters said.
Denny Lawrence directs the musical which stars prolific Australian country artist Courtney Conway as Patsy Cline.
Conway graduated from the College of Country Music in Tamworth, and her 2014 album 21 days in Nashville reached the top 10 in the ARIA Country Albums Chart.
She received four nominations at the 2015 Country Music Channel Awards, including Oz Artist of the Year.
Stage actress Mandi Lodge, who featured in Just The Ticket, Menopause The Musical and Dumped! The Musical, plays Louise Seger.
The musical plays for one show Friday night and two shows Saturday at the Potato Shed. To book tickets or for more information call 5251 1998.
