Show to reflect Traveling Wilburys
A collaboration of Australian entertainment personalities will bring a show dedicated to the music of the Traveling Wilburys to Horsham this week.
End of the Line, at Horsham Town Hall, will feature the musical and acting talents of renowned Nick Barker, Brian Mannix, Jaime Robbie ‘JR’ Reyne, Bernard Curry and Scott Darlow.
End of the Line is designed to take an audience through a narrative and musical journey reflecting on the Traveling Wilburys, providing insight into the peaks and valleys of the band’s profound but short-lived story.
Producer-director Simon Myers, responsible for other stage shows such as The Man in Black and At Last the Etta James Show, said End of the Line cast a spotlight on one of the biggest unplanned super bands that never played live.
“They shared an unexpected special moment of writing and recording music for pure joy,” he said.
“A special moment that led to a string of hits and two unforgettable albums.”
The Traveling Wilburys, featuring international superstar musicians, carved their way to success in the late 1980s.
Bob Dylan, George Harrison of the Beatles, Jeff Lynne from Eclectic Light Orchestra, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty made history when they came together to produce hit songs such as End of the Line, Last Night, Handle with Care and She’s My Baby.
The group’s debut album ‘Volume 1’ won a 1990 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance, although the band never performed live.
The show started a Victorian tour in Geelong earlier this month and will finish in Horsham.
End of the Line starts at 8pm with tickets $69, $54 for members and $54 concession.
People can book seats online at horshamtown hall.com.au or from the town hall box office, or by calling 5382 9555.
