FEAR NOT!
Dusty is not one of those dreaded tribute acts like Bjorn Again, Kisstroyer or the endless Elvis and Beatles shows that relentlessly tour the globe. Dusty is a serious and lovingly scripted drama that brings the woman behind the legend to life. A true tribute.
Amy Lehpamer taps into her inner Dusty Springfield.
David Campbell has recently played Bobby Darin in Dream Lover and Tim Draxl toured with Freeway: The Chet Baker Journey, and this month Amy Lehpamer zips up the shimmering evening gown, bouffants up the wig and dabs on the “panda eye” mascara to take the lead in this The Production Company show. Previously titled Dusty – TheOriginal Pop Diva, it was originally written by Australians John-Michael Howson, David Mitchell and Melvyn Morrow, who had already penned the Johnny O’Keefe musical SHOUT! It premiered in 2006 at the Victorian State Theatre with Tamsin Carroll in the lead role and earned high praise, including four Helpmann Awards.
