Details

Forever Dusty is a high-energy, multi award-winning Off-Broadway musical that comes to the UK for the very first time. The production tells the dramatic, revealing story of how a shy Irish Catholic school girl from West London transformed herself into the voice of blue-eyed soul, the face of Swinging London and a worldwide superstar - the legendary Dusty Springfield. This fantastic musical features such memorable classics as Son of a Preacher Man, You Don't Have to Say You Love Me, The Look of Love, Spooky, Wishin' and Hopin', I Only Wanna Be With You, Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart to name just a few. Dusty Springfield was not only one of the greatest talents of her (or any) era, she was a woman of tremendous courage, blazing a trail for decades ahead of her. She remains to this day, one of the most influential and important female singers in pop history, inspiring generations to follow in her footsteps. Bursting with all the joy and sadness, laughter and tears of Dusty Springfield's remarkable life, Forever Dusty features must-see performances of some of the greatest songs ever.
