Tiffany, whose tracks ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ and ‘Could’ve Been’ catapulted her to pop stardom.

The show explores the music of the late great Sam Cooke. Written by acclaimed theatre director Greg Carroll, the show is produced by Melbourne Creative Music Company and backed by the six-piece band The Champions of Soul.

The Art are a Sydney based band that began performing under the name The Follow in 2004. Tasmanian band leader Azaria Byrne was previously known as an unsuccessful contestant on the reality television series Popstars.
