Join one of Australia's leading ladies of song as internationally acclaimed chanteuse Melanie Parry performs her wonderful nostalgic musical tribute to Dame Vera Lynn to commemorate 2015 World Celebrations for the 70 Anniversary of WWII.
With an equally impressive list of TV credits in Britain and Australia, Melanie Parry has shared the stage with Barry Crocker, Simon Gallagher, John Williamson, Toni Lamond, Jackie Love, Michael Caton, John Paul Young and Peter Cousens to name just a few.
In her special tribute, Vera, the Magic of Dame Vera Lynn, Melanie Parry recreates the era when Vera was known as the 'forces sweetheart' and inspired a nation of people with her patriotic wartime songs and then went on to become one of the most revered vocalists in the world. This moving concert features excerpts from her famous BBC radio program, Sincerely Yours, and expertly celebrates the life and music of this great Dame through song and nostalgic archival wartime film clips of WWII.
As Melanie sings one stirring song after another you will see the sweeping plains and cities of Great Britain that will evoke such proud emotions and memories, to hearing Churchill announcing the end of the European war, people dancing in the streets in celebration, to the Royal family visiting and comforting their people who were left devastated by the bombs on London, to their appearances on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to a crowd cheering in victory.
Don't miss the beautiful voice of Melanie Parry as she sings The White Cliffs of Dover, This is the Army Mr Jones, Land of Hope & Glory, We'll Meet Again and many more beautiful songs in this unique and exceptional show tribute.
This show has been personally and officially endorsed by Dame Vera Lynn herself!
