Forever Dusty

Forever Dusty, a new musical by Kirsten Holly Smith and Jonathan Vankin, is touring the UK this Spring and comes to Eastbourne in April.

With her towering blonde beehive, spectacular outfits and, most of all, her unforgettable, soulful voice, Dusty Springfield became the first great female pop star of the 1960s. But how did a shy, awkward Catholic schoolgirl with the cumbersome name of Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien, transform herself into an icon for a generation?

Forever Dusty tells the compelling and moving story of Dusty’s journey, in a dramatic, high-energy musical filled with some of the most exciting pop songs ever written, including 'Son of a Preacher Man,' 'You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,' 'The Look of Love', and many others.
