See The Roy Orbison Story in Noosa

The brilliant theatrical portrayal of The Roy Orbison Story is currently on an extensive Australian tour and will be in Noosa on Saturday 11 October.

Mark Shelley (singer, musician, actor) is simply brilliant as he leads the audience on a journey through the wonderful catalogue of Roy’s songs and the intrigue of Roy’s life.

His seven piece backing band are superb. Their individual playing credits read like a ‘who’s who’ of the Music industry – Dragon, Moving Pictures, The Drifters, The Platters, Tommy Emmanuel… the list goes on.

Mark has extensively toured performing in Australia and parts of the world, been a member of the Australian Opera Company, headlined at Festivals, TV, and extensive venue and corporate performances.

“I am both a massive fan and admirer of Roy’s immense talent, singing and song writing ability. There has been no one like him before or since. It is an absolute privilege to perform his songs, share stories, and take the audience on a wonderful journey. His music is timeless,” Mark said.

Annetta from Wollongong said, “Words just can’t describe how amazingly talented you and the band are. You captured the audience. It was a very intimate show. I learnt so much about Roy’s life and you easily had me in tears during some songs.. What an honor to see you.”

Kathy from Bendigo said, “We had such a wonderful day at The Roy Orbison Story. The show was amazing. Mark’s portrayal of Roy was truly fantastic… I loved every minute of it.“

Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison – the man, his music and his life.
