Late, Late At Night
The Rick Springfield Story
Sunday 21 July 2:00pm
A
Pop-rock Adaptation Of Rick Springfield’s Autobiography.
Written
by award-winning Australian playwright, Kieran Carroll and starring rising
Sydney performer, Jackson Carroll (no relation) Late, Late At Night
is a pop-rock stage adaptation of Rick Springfield’s compelling and
searing autobiography, the New York Times best-seller, Late, Late at
Night. Directed by Robert Johnson, the show features over 20 fantastic
Springfield gems from Zoot to the present day and includes many of
Springfield’s 17 Top 40 American hits in the 1980s.
This show
traces Springfield’s Australian and British childhood, his early music
days in Australia, his rollercoaster ride in 1970s America and the huge
pop and acting successes of the 1980s. This is followed by his fall from
public view, his mental health demise, and finally, the resurrection of
Rick Springfield as an artist in the 21st century.
Late, Late At
Night captures the heart and essence of Springfield’s major concerns
and musings: depression, God, no God, his parents, self-motivation, a long
sustaining career, love versus sex, music versus acting, his wife and
sons, the way America shaped him and what he left behind in Australia as
he built his career to lead the seemingly glamorous and not-so-glamorous
expatriate life.
Late, Late At Night is an epic journey of a
suburban boy whose journey to fame and fortune came with large personal
costs.
