The cast features Jeff Duff - an acclaimed recording and rock
vocalist whose career spans across Australia and the UK, Jeff has released 26
albums (including current album 'Fragile Spaceman') and first brought Ziggy to
the stage in the nineties; Steve Balbi - one of Australia's leading songwriters
with Noiseworks, Electric Hippies and now a dynamic solo performer; Paul Capsis
- a multiple Helpmann Award winner, Paul's credits range from roles in The Rocky
Horror Show to his album 'Make Me A King'; and Christa Hughes - with a career
inspired by the blues, Christa was lead singer of Sydney band the Doppelgangers
in addition to singing (as KK Juggy) with Machine Gun Fellatio, and has recently
released the '21st Century Blues' album with her father, Dick Hughes.
"We
have an awesome line-up of the best of the best! It's so exciting to be presenting
Bowie's incredible music to Sydney audiences again. With the addition of the phenomenal
voice of Paul Capsis, the raunchy Christa Hughes, Steve Balbi and myself, we'll
be taking Sydney audiences on a magical theatrical journey through Bowie's amazing
songbook," said Jeff Duff.
In a career which defined pop
culture and gave us a wealth of ever changing visual imagery, it was the Top 5
hit 'Space Oddity' that first brought attention to David Bowie in 1969. Since
then we've been treated to hits such as 'Starman', 'Fame', 'Ashes to Ashes', 'Under
Pressure', China Girl' and 'Modern Love' in what is seemingly an endless list
of hits that have sold more than 130 albums globally.
Earning
rave reviews last year 'Ziggy' returns in 2011.
