The Dusty Springfield story

The incomparable Wendy Stapleton will appear at the one-off Applefest evening show as Dusty Springfield.

Beloved Australian singer, songwriter and actress, Wendy Stapleton, will present her outstanding tribute to the songs and career of Dusty Springfield as part of a special performance at this year’s Harcourt Applefest.


Dusty Springfield, Britain’s greatest female pop singer, enjoyed a 35-year career in music because of her unique heartbreaking voice, and her unfailing belief in songwriters such as Carol King, Gerry Gollin, Randy Newman, John Kander, Burt Bacharach and Hal David just to name of few.


Starring Wendy Stapleton as Dusty and featuring fabulous musical theatre singer/dancers and musicians, this unique show takes you on a colourful journey through all the hits of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s that made Dusty a household name.


This show is the original production that has delighted audiences all around Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

As an added bonus, Wendy Stapleton’s Australian Women’s Choir will also be among the performers on the Applefest Main Stage during the Saturday March 9 festival extravaganza.



The Express has two tickets to give away to the special Dusty Springfield performance, valued at $60, compliments of the Harcourt Applefest committee.
