The Roy Orbison Story

Sun 24 Aug 2025 2:00 pm
Theatre Royal


Experience the wonder of Roy Orbison in this brilliant theatrical portrayal of the man, his music, his voice and his life.  

Mark Shelley is brilliant in his characterization of Roy, with the vocal range and tone to honour his songs plus the sensitivity and artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy. He will perform the classics Only the Lonely, Running Scared, Sweet Dream Baby, Candy Man, Blue Bayou, In Dreams, Anything You Want, Crying, Workin' for the Man, Penny Arcade, Pretty Woman and many more. 

From his initial success in the 1960’s to the resurgence of his career in the 80’s, Roy Orbison’s voice remained remarkable, communicating an emotional intensity not experienced in popular music before. His songs conveyed vulnerability, love, loss and fun. His performance was unique, simple and powerful. 

Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy, and career highs and lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80’s 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.
