'Stand By Your Man - The Tammy Wynette Story' on stage in Ogdensburg April 28

Posted

This show is rescheduled from a canceled performance in October 2018. Tickets from the October date are valid for the April 28th performance.

The new musical by Mark St. Germain and produced by Capstone Theatricals follows Wynette’s turbulent life through five husbands, 50 hit singles and 20 million fans.

The show will feature 28 hits of “The First Lady of Country Music” including “I Don’t Want to Play House Anymore,” “D-I-V-O-R-C-E,” “Golden Rings” and “Till I Can Make It On My Own.”

Unlike the tremendously successful Patsy Cline musical which in several different incarnations, were mostly just a sampling of her concerts, "Stand By Your Man” truly is the Tammy Wynette Story, said the Capstone Theatricals website.

This musical chronicles Wynette's life. The show deals with most of Wynette’s most difficult episodes, including the difficult relationship with her mother, her divorces, her addiction to prescription drugs, her illnesses and her famous kidnapping incident.

“Humor perfectly peppers the tragedy and triumph. But ultimately, the show’s heart and honesty are what bring it to life,” writes a reviewer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegraph. “Miraculously, it squeezes a host of songs into the story without cluttering the proceedings.”

“So much of her music is autobiographical, which makes it so much easier to make a musical out of it,” says Mark St. Germain, the show’s playwright and award winning author of Gift of the Magi and the Off-Broadway hit, "Camping with Henry and Tom."

“Tammy’s music is about someone who is exposing her pain. You can track her life, and what she felt from the songs she chose to sing,” St. Germain said.

Tickets will cost $19-$43.
