The Roy Orbison Story - Cleveland

Experience the wonder of Roy Orbison in this brilliant theatrical portrayal of the man, his music, his voice, and his life. Relive the emotions of each of his songs and the stories of his life.

Mark Shelley is simply brilliant in his portrayal of Roy. He not only has the vocal range and tone to honour his songs, but he also has the sensitivity and artistic ability to 'be' Roy.

Iconic hits like Only the Lonely, Running Scared, Sweet Dream Baby, Candy Man, Blue Bayou, In Dreams, Anything You Want, Crying, Workin' for the Man, Penny Arcade, Pretty Woman, and many more will be featured in this ultimate homage to Orbison.

From his initial success in the 1960s to the resurgence of his career in the '80s, Roy Orbison's voice remained remarkable, communicating an emotional intensity not experienced in popular music before or since. His songs expressed vulnerability, love, loss and fun. His performances were unique, simple and powerful.

Orbison's life was filled with personal tragedy, and career highs and lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late '80s through his legendary 'Black & White Night' concert, his solo album 'Mystery Girl', and the formation of the Supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, provided a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius.
