Broadway Artist To Put On Patsy Cline Tribute At Bucks County Playhouse

NEW HOPE, PA — A country extravaganza will come to the Bucks County Playhouse in October in the form of Carter Calvert's "Walkin' After Midnight: A Patsy Cline Tribute."

Calvert is a Broadway performer best known for originating her role in the Tony-nominated Broadway musical "It Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues." The New York Times wrote that "her smoldering grip on 'Fever' is positively dangerous."

Calvert's other tours include the title role in "Always … Patsy Cline" opposite Sally Struthers, the featured role of Grizabella in the Broadway National touring company of "CATS," the European tour of "Smokey Joe’s Café," and an international tour of Neil Berg’s "100 Years of Broadway." She has also performed to acclaim in numerous off-Broadway roles.

Calvert has opened for iconic performers including Liza Minnelli, Marilyn McCoo, Chubby Checker, and The Temptations. Her television credits include “The David Letterman Show,” “The Rosie O’Donnell Show,” and “The Today Show.”

While still in high school, Downbeat Magazine named her “Best Female Jazz Vocalist” and Starsong Records hailed her as “Best Female Vocalist of the Year.”

In the show, Calvert promises to perfectly capture Patsy Cline’s musical stylings in mega hits including “Crazy,” “I Fall To Pieces,” “She’s Got You,” and “Walkin’ After Midnight.”

As a recording artist, Carter Calvert and the Roger Cohen Trio debuted at number 13 on the CMJ jazz charts, beating out Paul McCartney. Her CD "It's A Man's World" is climbing the charts, receiving rave reviews and extensive radio play.

Tickets for "Walkin' After Midnight: A Patsy Cline Tribute" start at $45 and are available at the Playhouse's website or by calling the Box Office at (215) 862-2121. The show will run Oct. 14 - Oct. 24.

Masks and vaccinations will be required for the performance, per the Playhouse website.
