1986. You’re the Voice. John Farnham becomes a hero with his anthem for the masses. Truly great rock songs lift ordinary events to the status of the majestic. If only for three minutes. 2013. 27 years after Whispering Jack, one anthemaniac vows to write the rock for today’s glorious ordinary. Self-confessed cock-rock junkie Geraldine Quinn is honouring Australia’s Tommys on the dock and Geenas in the diner. Or Tommy in a Semaphore servo and Geena at the Coles deli. This spectacular show combines a huge voice, daring costumes, and Quinn’s award-winning brand of original musical comedy. A rockin’, rollin’, fist-in-the-air, high-note-squealin’ shout to urban growth boundary middle-of-the-roaders, 'You’re the Voice' is not to be missed. An incredibly diverse performer, Quinn is an actor, singer, songwriter and comedian who has entertained audiences and impressed critics worldwide. Winner of the 2011 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Golden Gibbo Award (Best Independent Local Production) and Green Room Award for Original Songs (nominee - Best Production, Best Cabaret Artiste). ***** “A brilliant blend of sass, satire and pathos, delivered with an electrifying voice that can strip paint off the walls or retreat into haunting vulnerability.” – The Age **** "Magnificent…a rock goddess" – Chortle, UK
