Amplified: The exquisite rock and rage of Chrissy Amphlett
Jun
11
7:30pm
Performance
It’s a fine line between pleasure and pain.
Chrissy Amphlett was a seismic force in a school uniform. She had the raw talent, stage-conquering energy and the rock’n’roll rasp. Her audacious blend of sexuality and vulnerability defined a generation. As the front woman for the Divinyls she exploded onto the male-dominated scene, taking the band from the sticky carpets of Australian pubs to the top of the charts.
Now, beloved performer and writer Sheridan Harbridge (Prima Facie) fronts the band in an electrifying new cabaret that channels Chrissy’s fierce spirit through her words and songs. Co-created with multi-award-winning director Sarah Goodes (Julia), Amplified will take you on a kaleidoscopic tour through the eyes of Chrissy’s fans and people who knew her into the heart of an artist well ahead of her time.
