Description In the 1960’s, Dusty Springfield took the world by storm with her unique, sensual soul singing and a score of hits including I Only Want To Be With You, Wishin’ and Hopin’, The Look of Love, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself and Son of a Preacher Man.
DUSTY the musical features these hits and many more! It’s the story of the shy, young Londoner, Mary O’Brien who transforms herself into the blonde, pop-icon Dusty Springfield, the legend who came to symbolise the swinging 60’s.
