About

In an electrifying two-hour rockumentary event, the stage is set to pay homage to the iconic women who broke the mould in the male-dominated rock industry. "She Will Rock You" is an unforgettable narrated journey, spotlighting the extraordinary lives of select female rock legends, while their timeless songs come to life on stage. The rock and roll narrative witnessed a significant transformation with the emergence of female rock pioneers. Gone are the days of the 1950s and early 1960s when societal expectations relegated women to domestic roles. Icons such as Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, and Aretha Franklin blazed a trail for a wave of remarkably talented, influential, and determined female rock legends. From the soulful renditions of Joplin to the powerful anthems of Heart, the electrifying performances of Divinyls to the rebellious spirit of Joan Jett and the modern-day brilliance of Pink, this rockumentary promises to be a musical rollercoaster that spans decades of rock history. Melbourne singer, Cynthia Gallie, features in the show and stands as a testament to the diversity of Australia's musical landscape. Her vocal prowess is nothing short of extraordinary, boasting a phenomenal vocal range. Backing Gallie is "The Engine Room," a band comprising Larry Attard (Bass), Jesse Attard (Guitar+BV), Greg Aldridge (Drums), and Lionel Caesar (Keys and Synth), with the addition of talented backing vocalists Rebecca Bruce and Coco Fabry.
