"Sylvia"
"Sylvia", written by contemporary American playwright A.R. Gurney specifically for actress Sarah Jessica Parker to play the title role, is a romantic comedy of twisted sorts.
Greg, a man suffering through a midlife crisis, finds Sylvia, a little Labradoodle, roaming the streets and falls in love with her. But Greg's wife, Kate, isn't keen on the other female in her husband's life. The couple's kids have just gone off to college and Kate has been looking forward to starting a new phase of her marriage with Greg. Gradually, the lovable, sassy little pooch drives a wedge between husband and wife, pushing Kate to great lengths to try to get ride of her husband's muse.

It has been one of the most produced musicals in America according to American Theatre Magazine. “Always…Patsy Cline” has also been enjoyed internationally by audiences in Canada, the UK and Australia. “Always…Patsy Cline” is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. The show is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in l961, and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death. The musical play, complete with down home country humor, true emotion and even some audience participation, includes many of Patsy' unforgettable hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Walking After Midnight…27 songs in all. The show’s title was inspired by Cline's letters to Seger, which were consistently signed "Love ALWAYS... Patsy Cline.” |
