“This show has everything you could ask for in a musical – it’s funny, it’s poignant, it’s real, it’s country, it’s full of friendship and tenderness. It’s a tribute to a musical legend and a lady who loved her. You’ll love it, too.”
-Sullivan County Democrat

fan, Louise Seger, cemented by years of letter-writing. Accompanied by the beloved hits ‘Walkin’ After Midnight’, ‘I Fall to Pieces’, ‘Crazy’, and many more, the housewife and the star share the letters and homespun stories of laughter and tears that brought them together.
