Скачать или смотреть The Sapphires at IPAC 18 - 22 May

Australia's answer to The Supremes in a smash-hit musical.

Five years after it first raised the roof at Sydneys Belvoir St Theatre, this stunning musical is finally set loose in Wollongong, starring some of Australias best-loved vocalists.

1969. Vietnam. Bombs are dropping and the world is exploding in protest. Back at the Tiki Club in St Kilda, four Koori sisters from country Victoria catch the eye of a big-city talent scout with their Supremes cover group. But for the MacCrae girls, the realisation of a life-long dream to perform overseas isnt quite what they had in mind theyre off to sing for the troops on the front line.

This swinging celebration of all the joy and heartbreak of family tells the true story of The Sapphires as they shake it for the troops and push sibling love to its limits. Wesley Enochs acclaimed production features the soul hits that defined a generation, from 'Respect,' 'Chain of Fools', 'Stop in the Name of Love' to 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine' and 'I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You'. And we're thrilled that two great Australian singers, Christine Anu and Casey Donovan, are stepping into the shimmery frocks to bring The Sapphires to life.

"Resonant and touching youll swear they are the hottest of hot soul divas." - The Sydney Morning Herald

"These four terrific singers recreate The Sapphires in a top notch production filled with toe tapping sound and Motown songs You will not often get the chance to see so much great talent on the one stage at the same time The pace and polished performances make this a must see production." - GLAM Adelaide
