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.

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.

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 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.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
