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 to honour his songs, he also has the sensitivity and artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy.

Featuring all of Roy Orbison’s beloved hits, including ‘Only the Lonely’, ‘Running Scared’, ‘Sweet Dream Baby’, ‘Candy Man’, ‘Blue Bayou’, ‘In Dreams’, ‘Anything You Want’, ‘Crying’, ‘Workin’ for the Man’, ‘Penny Arcade’, ‘Pretty Woman’ and many more.

Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy, and career highs and lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80s through his legendary ‘Black & White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’, and the formation of the super-group ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius.
