• About A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline
After hundreds of sold-out performances on the North American tour and an award-winning run in Branson, Mo., one of the hottest stage shows in America rolls into Camden. 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. Written and conceived by Dean Regan, the musical reveals the emotional depth and range of a singer who defined the term “crossover hit” by dominating country, blues, pop and gospel charts simultaneously in the 1950s and early 1960s.
A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline features a powerhouse singer and actress Sandia Ahlers. Sandia has performed leading roles in such musicals as Anything Goes, Legally Blonde, The Drowsy Chaperone, The Marvelous Wonderettes, among others. She 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.
