The Roy Orbison Story Queanbeyan

Overview

Experience the wonder of Roy Orbison in this brilliant theatrical portrayal of the man, his music, his voice, and his life. You will find yourself believing you are in his presence, transported back in time, reliving the emotion of each of his songs and the stories of his life. Mark Shelley is simply brilliant in his characterisation of Roy. He not only has the vocal range and tone to honour his songs, he also has the sensitivity & artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy.

Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his music and his life. 'Only the Lonely', 'Running Scared', 'Sweet Dream Baby', 'Candy Man', 'Blue Bayou', 'In Dreams', 'Anything You Want', 'Crying', 'Workin' for the Man', 'Penny Arcade', 'Pretty Woman' and many more.

Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy, and career highs and lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80s through his legendary ‘Black & White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’, and the formation of the Supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius.
