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, he also has the sensitivity and artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy. Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his music and his life.
The ‘Big O’ stood head and shoulders above the rest, his vocals were peerless, his range extraordinary. His songs unique, impassioned and personal. Orbison, the man, was enigmatic, driven, shy, funny, quietly charismatic.
From his initial success in the 1960s to his resurgence in the 80s, Orbison’s voice remained remarkable, communicating an emotional intensity not experienced in popular music before or since. His songs conveyed vulnerability, love, loss and fun. His performance was unique, simple and powerful.
Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy, highs and lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the 80s through to the legendary ‘Black and 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.
