MyMy
Great news! At last, due to persistent popular demand, My My How Nice Productions’ (MyMy) has succumbed to local pressure and is reviving its unforgettable tribute to the music, life and times of Patsy Cline.
The original cast, Patteye Simpson and Jayme Littlejohn, accompanied by Musical Director Timothy G. Ruff Welch on piano, are scheduled to present Ted Swindley’s “Always Patsy Cline” at Lakeside’s newest performance hall, The Bravo! Theatre, from January 1-3 and 8-10, at 7:30 p.m. and January 4 and 11, at 3 p.m.
A true story, the show includes many of Cline’s hit songs and is based on her friendship with housewife Louise Seger.
An avid fan, Seger cannot have imagined, when she attended that concert in her home town of Houston, that they would become such fast friends. Nor that they would remain so, right up until Cline’s premature death in a airplane crash when she was just 30.
MyMy was launched in 2010 by well-known local actor and singer Jayme Littlejohn and this show was its very first production. Highly successful, it played to packed houses in both Ajijic and Manzanillo.
This 2015 revival will be another landmark, as it will be the first show to be held in MyMy’s new theater and permanent home, The Bravo! Theatre at Sol y Luna, on Río Bravo, Ajijic.
Tickets cost $250 pesos and are available from Diane Pearl’s and Mia’s or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
