The Rep's Kelley Faulkner becomes Patsy Cline

Published March 15, 2012

Jumping from Sally Bowles to Patsy Cline is a leap we would not expect from most actresses, but Kelley Faulkner says the distance between the two characters, one fictional and the other real, is not as great as we may think. She should know. Faulkner blew the roof off of the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater last season playing Bowles in the Milwaukee Rep's landmark production of "Cabaret." She is now about to play Cline in the small musical "Always...Patsy Cline" the Rep opens Sunday in its Stackner Cabaret.
