Hopelessly Devoted: A Celebration of Olivia Newton-John

Overview

Of all the stars that can be traced back to Australia, few fill people with joy like the late, great Olivia Newtown-John. An iconic voice of Australian music, her ballads and sweeping melodies will live on forever thanks to fans and tribute concerts like Queensland Symphony Orchestra's 'Hopelessly Devoted: A Celebration of Olivia Newton-John' — hosted by Brisbane-native drag superstar Courtney Act on Saturday, April 6.

Conducted by Nicholas Buc, the orchestra will provide the backings while Courtney Act and her fellow stars of screen and stage (David Campbell, Jess Hitchcock, Georgina Hopson and Christie Whelan Browne) provide vocals for the discography of Newton-John in a tribute fitting of a legend.

Expect all the hits, from the sing-alongs of Grease to the bops of Xanadu and other classics like 'Magic', 'I Honestly Love You', 'Make a Move on Me', and of course, 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'. It's all happening amid the fabulous acoustics of the QPAC Concert Hall and it will inevitably sell out so get in quick.

Fitting of Newton-John's legacy and the hosts for the night, you're encouraged to dress up in drag or otherwise colourful, sparkling and vibrant outfits to enjoy the energy of the night.

Hopelessly Devoted: A Celebration of Olivia Newtown John is taking place at 1.30pm and 7.30pm on Saturday, April 6 at the QPAC Concert Hall, for more information or to get tickets, visit the website.
