It’s time to fall in love with ‘DUSTY’ all over again!

After 10 years since its opening, ‘Dusty’, the stage musical based on the life of 60s singing legend Dusty Springfield, returns to Adelaide.

Relive the magic of the swingin’ sixties with DUSTY the Musical!
Starring Amy Lehpamer (The Sound of Music) as Dusty, Todd McKenney (The Boy From Oz) as Rodney, her loyal hairdresser and long time confidant and Virginia Gay (Winners & Losers) as Peg.
This new production is directed by award winning director, Jason Langley, conducted by Michael Tyack and choreographed by Michael Ralph.
DUSTY the musical is the creation of the Australian writers John-Michael Howson, David Mitchell and Melvyn Morrow. Ten years since its Australia debut, it’s time to fall in love with DUSTY all over again.
DUSTY the musical is the extraordinary story of the life and music of Dusty Springfield, one of pop music’s greatest female stars. For more than fifty years, Dusty’s music has reached out to all ages. Her legendary life is a riveting story of highs and lows and triumph and tragedy.
In the 1960’s, Dusty Springfield took the world by storm with her unique, sensual soul singing and a score of hits including I Only Want To Be With You, Wishin’ And Hopin’, The Look Of Love, You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself and Son Of A Preacher Man.
DUSTY the musical features these hits and many more! It’s the story of the shy, young Londoner, Mary O’Brien who transforms herself into the pop-icon Dusty Springfield, the legend who as the blonde with the beehive in the shimmering gowns came to symbolise the swinging 60’s.
“To me she was as good as Aretha Franklin…and completely timeless…she was the greatest.”  – Sir Elton John
‘Britain’s best ever pop-singer…whose voice simultaneously embodied Sixties pop elegance and seemed luminously timeless.’ – Rolling Stone
Adelaide Festival Centre’s CEO and Artistic Director Douglas Gautier said:“Partnerships and collaborations are key to our success and so we’re pleased to be working with The Production Company and presenting Dusty to kick off our 2017 season.  With truly memorable songs and a stellar cast the show is perfect summer entertainment and an ideal way to lead into our diverse and exciting 2017 program.”
