Theatrical tribute to Roy Orbison and the Traveling Wilburys with five lookalike-soundalikes, expert narrative and big-screen action.
Paul Hopkins Roy Orbison and the Traveling Wilburys Experience comes to Babbacombe Theatre on Saturday 28 November, with the show starting at 7:30 pm. It's now in its ninth year of touring, and this particular run is a 34th Anniversary Special. The whole thing is built around the story of the Traveling Wilburys, told with narrative and big-screen action, and it's a theatrical tribute to Roy Orbison's vocal delivery and stage presence.
On stage, you'll find five lookalike-soundalikes paying tribute to Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. They play Wilburys classics like 'Handle with Care' and 'End of the Line' alongside the artists' solo hits, including 'Mr Blue Sky' and 'Pretty Woman'. The show also looks at Orbison's rock and roll legacy with hits like 'In Dreams' and 'Crying', and includes a nod to his touring history in the UK.
