In the 1950’s a star-struck, plain and dumpy London schoolgirl imagines she could become a glamorous movie idol. Blessed with an amazing voice and talent, she sets out to become a singer and star. Soon, plain Mary O’Brien has transformed herself into the blonde pop icon, Dusty Springfield.
In the 1960’s Dusty Springfield takes the entertainment world by storm with a score of hits with triumphs in Britain and America, but Dusty finds the pressure unbearable and she retreats from the world into a dark place. Finding strength in adversity, Dusty returns to soar to the top, but with the world applauding again, she has one more battle to fight.
In a show featuring her hits and many more from the era including ‘Son of a Preacher Man‘, ‘Only Want to be withYou‘, ‘My Colouring Book‘, ‘My Generation‘ and ‘Dancing in the Street‘.
