Ellis Nassour says the musical “Always, Patsy Cline” owes him a share of its receipts because it borrows from his biography of the late country star. Nassour, a free-lance writer, is suing in federal court for 4 percent of the box office, plus other, unspecified compensation.
Robin Mitchell Joyce, lawyer for playwright Ted Swindley, who created the production, said Nassour did not create the story the show is based on. The musical, currently in Chicago, has played in several cities since 1988.
