The stage show ‘Billy Thorpe & Leigh’ will début in Melbourne in May.
‘Billy Thorpe & Leigh’ is the true story by playwright Neil Cole. It tells the story of Billy Thorpe’s life through the eyes of a fan Leigh Farnell, who comes to terms with his father’s illness through the music of Billy Thorpe.
“Leigh and I were huge fans of Billy Thorpe growing up, and I wanted to showcase how a rock star that we didn’t know could have such a big impact on our lives.
“I’m looking forward to sharing my new piece of work with Billy Thorpe fans and the wider community, his songs are incredible and you will find all the classics in there such as ‘Most People I Know Think That I’m Crazy’ and ‘It’s Almost Summer’. The cast has a done an incredible job and I’m very proud of the work we have created” Cole said.
‘Billy Thorpe & Leigh’ will be performed at the Alex Theatre in St Kilda from May 18 – 29.
