I Stand Corrected about Conway Twitty Musical

You may have read my not so good review of Conway Twitty: The Musical that opened in Nashville on Sunday.  I have received two comments and numerous emails from people who did attend the show, one being Conway Twitty’s daughter Kathy.  All say that the musical was fantastic and that we missed seeing 6 standing ovations that evening.  You can read Kathy’s comments here

Since I did not personally see the show and was only using outside sources for my review I will stand corrected by our readers this time.  Thank you for your comments and for reading our blog, we do appreciate it!

Just a side note: I was in no way diminishing the impact that Conway had on country music.  Conway Twitty was an American Icon and will always be a country music legend.

Where is Everyone? Big promises broken- but the show must go on!

Sunday was TPAC’s big debut of Conway Twitty: The Musical.   Music City TV is reporting that big names were promised to be in the audience last night.   Names that we would all recognize:  Reba McIntryre, Barbara Mandrell, Luke Bryan and half of Montgomery Gentry.  Not one of them were there! 

I have not personally seen the show, well because I didn’t show last night either but it doesn’t seem to be a story that will interest most. 

Even though the big names were not present last night there were a few “stars” that did show:  Crystal Gayle, sister of Loretta Lynn (who is portrayed in the musical).  There were also a few Opry stars: Jeannie Seely, T.G. Sheppard, Bill Anderson, Jeff Bated and Mandy Barnett.

After seeing a few of the reviews from last nights opening show I not kicking myself in the butt for not attending.  It was only a one night show since they are moving it immediately out to Missouri.  They say that it will make it’s way back to Nashville but again….not gonna run out to see it. Don’t think anyone missed anything worth seeing.
