Eastbourne audiences will get their first chance to see Barry Steele’s Roy Orbison Story when the production comes to the Congress Theatre on Thursday, October 29.
Steele, whose show has previously appeared in the West End, has built a reputation for recreating the distinctive sound of Roy Orbison while also bringing the music of the Traveling Wilburys to the stage.
The show features Orbison favourites including Oh, Pretty Woman, Crying, Only the Lonely and You Got It, alongside songs associated with the Traveling Wilburys.
Steele has spent many years performing Orbison’s music and has developed a following across the UK, with the production regularly touring theatres around the country.
Reviews have particularly focused on Steele’s vocals. The Stage described him as offering “True Identikit Brilliance”, while audiences have also praised the authenticity of his voice and the live production.
The Eastbourne performance will be a debut for the show in the town.
Steele said: “We’re really looking forward to coming to Eastbourne for the first time. Roy’s music has such a strong connection with audiences and we’re hoping to introduce the show to plenty of people who haven’t seen us before.”
Barry Steele’s Roy Orbison Story is at the Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, on Thursday, October 29, at 7.30pm.
Tickets are available from the theatre.
