Welcome to the seventh edition of Regards from Broadway Rose, our quarterly newsletter.
After a showstopper summer production, we are back at the New Stage and ready to welcome audiences to two more fantastic shows. We can’t wait to share a Broadway Rose favorite, Always…Patsy Cline this September, and a festive musical, Five Golden Rings in November.
We are also excited to share with you our season for next year. Every show next season has a special spark, ignited by sizzling scores, fiery dance numbers, and passionate stories about love, friendship, and courage. For more info, visit our 2025 Season page.

About the Show
THE LEGACY OF PATSY CLINE
Legendary country singer Patsy Cline
As one of the most influential voices and musical artists of the 20th century, singer Patsy Cline’s legacy lives on today.
Born in 1932 as Virginia Patterson Hensley in Winchester, Virginia, singer Patsy Cline’s upbringing was difficult. She survived through her father’s abuse and abandonment, moving 19 times in 16 years, and quitting school at age 16 to work and help her family.

HOW BROADWAY ROSE PICKS A SEASON OF SHOWS
Grease is returning to Broadway Rose for our 2025 season
Every spring, Broadway Rose starts the process of picking six shows to produce. While there are many challenging things that come with running a theatre, Broadway Rose founders Sharon Maroney and Dan Murphy know that choosing the season is indeed the most difficult decision.
