Description:
The Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley and the Friends of the Pulaski Theatre present the musical theatre sensation, A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline on Sunday, February 14, 2016.

After hundreds of sold-out performances on the North American tour and an award-winning run in Branson, Missouri, one of the hottest stage shows in America rolls into Pulaski, Virginia on Valentine’s Day.

The show traces the late star’s footsteps from her early honky-tonk days and radio fame through her rise at the Grand Ole Opry and triumphs at Carnegie Hall and Las Vegas.

A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline features a powerhouse singer and actress who sings 22 of Patsy’s greatest hits including “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “Sweet Dreams,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Crazy,” “She’s Got You,” “Seven Lonely Days” and the title song, “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”

Backed up by a band of singers and musicians, Patsy interacts throughout the show with Little Big Man, a disc jockey from her hometown in Winchester, Va., as well as a host of outrageous stand-up comics that serve as warm-up acts for her concerts and radio shows.

The audience is also treated to a stunning array of elaborate show costumes - from Patsy’s signature blue-and-white fringed Opry outfit to the glimmering sequined gown worn for her Carnegie Hall appearance. These costumes do more than decorate the stage and the actress. They actually help tell the story of Patsy’s career, life and untimely death at the age of 29.

The show is produced by Springer Theatricals and the Springer Opera House, the State Theatre of Georgia, located in downtown Columbus. The Springer is a 143-year-old National Historic Landmark with a year-round schedule of plays, musicals and a top-ranked children’s theatre academy.

Tickets for the show are $22 advance and $25 at the door and are on sale now. The show is reserved seating.

Tickets may be purchased in Pulaski at Martin’s Pharmacy, 400 N. Washington Avenue and the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley, 21 West Main Street. In Dublin you may purchase tickets at the Pulaski County Visitor Center located at 4440 Cleburne Blvd.

Please call the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley at 540-980-7363 to purchase tickets by credit or debit and any special seating arrangements. The Center has the bulk of the tickets and is opened Monday through Friday to the public from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
