According to one of the show鈥檚 creators Gil Risling, theatre goers will hear Elvis sing 鈥楾hat鈥檚 Alright Mama鈥�, the song he sang the first time he was on the Louisiana Hayride back when he was 19-years-old.
鈥淩oy Orbison will show up with 鈥楥rying鈥� and 鈥楶retty Woman鈥� and always a favourite, Patsy Cline will be there as well singing her hits,鈥� Risling said. 鈥淎nother audience favourite is Loretta Lynn singing her signature song 鈥楥oalminer鈥檚 Daughter鈥� and her little sister, Crystal Gayle will also be there singing a couple of her chart toppers.鈥�
This is the ninth year of production for the Louisiana Hayride, which tours across Western Canada.
鈥淭he music in this show will bring back memories from a bygone era,鈥� explained Risling. 鈥淭his is music the audience remembers, either first hand, or in many cases, it鈥檚 music they remember their parents or grandparents playing. Music that鈥檚 no longer easily accessible.鈥�
Risling is actually featured in the production as one of the musicians playing electric and acoustic guitar as well as is the voice of Roy Orbison.
