The acclaimed musical play The Sapphires is coming to the Wagga Civic Theatre to showcase one of Australia's best-loved stories. Winning multiple awards as a play, film and soundtrack album, writer Tony Briggs will direct his work in a stage show version he promises will be the most intimate telling of The Sapphires story yet.
Four young women from regional Australia, who like singing country music, suddenly get the chance to change their tune, their clothes and their lives. Wearing uniforms of sequins, armed only with microphones they find themselves trying to spread joy in the hell that is the Vietnam War.
The Sapphires is a funny, heart-warming tale inspired by the true story of writer Tony's mother.
It tells of the incredible journey of a singing group of four Yorta Yorta Women, who sing Motown soul hits against the backdrop of personal change and massive social upheaval. It is an energetic, fun and engaging play that affirms life and the realisation of dreams.
Don't miss this live on stage at the Civic Theatre on Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25 at 7.30pm.
Tickets are $50 for adults, $15 for children under 15yrs and $45 for concessions and groups of more than four.
