Dusty The Musical – In Concert, presented by Prospero Arts, is the celebration and retelling of the extraordinary life and music of British icon, Dusty Springfield, one of pop music’s greatest female stars, whose riveting journey was full of highs, lows, triumph and tragedy.

In the 1960’s, Dusty took the world by storm with her revolutionary sensual soul singing, and for more than sixty years, her music has reached out across generations with 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 product of Australian writers John-Michael Howson, David Mitchell and Melvyn Morrow, received rave reviews for both its Australian National Tour in 2006, and again with Melbourne’s Production Company in 2016, with the story of the introverted Londoner, Mary O’Brien, who defies the odds to transform herself to become a legend, synonymous with the 60s era.

Fresh from her starring role as Anne Hathaway in & Juliet, the sensational Amy Lehpamer reprises her performance as Dusty Springfield; and this semi-staged reimagining will be directed by the esteemed Jason Langley from Sydney, alongside Melbourne choreographer Michael Ralph, who both jumped at the chance to bring this beauty back to life for Brisbane audiences, nine years after their brilliant work (with Amy) on the smash hit for The Production Company.

Following the success of Jersey Boys and Pirates of Penzance, Prospero’s fifth production, Dusty The Musical – In Concert will showcase the swingin’ sixties in all of its glory – blondes, beehives, fashionistas in shimmering gowns, and so many musical hits that we all know and love – backed by a live, onstage band, and conducted by local musical director Brendan Murtagh, with musical supervision by the acclaimed David Young.
