When
We heard your calls for an encore - the hit Chrissy Amphlett cabaret returns for a strictly limited run.
The legendary rebel-queen of Australian rock had raw talent, stage-conquering charisma and the rock’n’roll rasp. Fronting the Divinyls, she took the band from the sticky carpets of Australian pubs to dizzying heights of chart success around the world.
Now, off the back of a sold-out Sydney season, beloved performer and writer Sheridan Harbridge (Prima Facie) fronts the band in an electrifying new show that captures Chrissy's fierce spirit through her words and songs.
Co-created with multi-award-winning director Sarah Goodes (Julia) and Glenn Morehouse, Amplified will take you on a kaleidoscopic tour through the eyes of fans and people who knew her, and into the heart of an artist well ahead of her time.
