DUSTY - The Original Pop Diva!

Bankstown Theatrical Society Presents The Sydney Community Theatre Premiere of DUSTY The Original Pop Diva May 28th to June 5th 2010 Bankstown Town Hall Theatre Book By John-Michael Howson, David Mitchell, Melvyn Morrow ABOUT THE SHOW In the 1950s a star-struck, plain and dumpy London schoolgirl imagines she could become a glamorous movie idol. Blessed with an amazing voice and talent, she sets out to become a singer and star. Soon, plain Mary O'Brien has transformed herself into the blonde pop icon, Dusty Springfield. In the 1960s Dusty Springfield takes the entertainment world by storm with a score of hits with triumphs in Britain and America, but Dusty finds the pressure unbearable and she retreats from the world into a dark place. Finding strength in adversity, Dusty returns to soar to the top, but with the world applauding again, she has one more battle to fight. In a show featuring her hits and many more from the era including 'Son of a Preacher Man', ''Only want to be with you', 'My Colouring Book', 'My Generation' & 'Dancing in the Streets' ... DUSTY - the Original Pop Diva, is a show not to be missed!
