More than twenty hit songs are included.<\/p>\n<p>Carolyn Messina as Louise Seger is brilliant at comic relief. Her ebullient portrayal gives a nice balance to all the broken-heartedness inherent in most country songs. Their unlikely friendship rings true.<\/p>\n<p>Scenic Designer <a target=\"newwinddow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwayworld.com\/people\/Ray-Recht\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ray Recht<\/a> has created a honky tonk dive complete with neon beer signs. The live five piece band, consisting of Steven Zumbrun, Mark Baczynski, Ryan Crum, Vince Federici, and Rob Law, adds to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to Kristina Tollefson for appropriately glittery costumes.<\/p>\n<p>Cline\u2019s career was cut short, but judging by the audience response her legacy is alive and well.<\/p>\n<p>The show runs through Jan. 25.
