Jacaranda Productions and Seymour Centre present Amplified: The Exquisite Rock and Rage of Chrissy Amphlett, an electrifying ‘rock odyssey’ of music, storytelling and unapologetic attitude, from 15 to 25 April.
Following a sold-out, 5-star season at Belvoir St Theatre, beloved performer and writer Sheridan Harbridge (Griffin Theatre Co’s Prima Facie, MTC’s My Brilliant Career) is back fronting an incredible four-piece live band as she channels Chrissy’s fierce spirit.
Chrissy Amphlett was a seismic force in a school uniform. She had the raw talent, stage-conquering energy and the rock’n’roll rasp. Her audacious blend of sexuality and vulnerability defined a generation. As the front woman for Divinyls she exploded onto the male-dominated scene, taking the band from the sticky carpets of Australian pubs to the top of the charts.
Filled with anthemic hits, intimate anecdotes and vivid memories from those who knew her best, join us on a kaleidoscopic tour into the heart of an artist well ahead of her time.
