With her towering blonde beehive, spectacular outfits, and most of all, her unforgettable, soulful voice, Dusty Springfield became the first great female pop star of the 1960s.  But how did a shy, awkward Catholic schoolgirl with the cumbersome name of Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O’Brien, transform herself into an icon for a generation?

Forever Dustytells the compelling and moving story of Dusty’s journey, in a dramatic, high-energy musical filled with some of the most exciting pop songs ever written, including “Son of a Preacher Man,” “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” “The Look of Love,” and many others.

Michael Thomas Murray will serve as the Musical Director. The complete cast and creative team for Forever Dusty will be announced shortly.

CRITICAL PRAISE FOR FOREVER DUSTY

“Smith delivers slam-dunk vocals... “Son of a Preacher Man” and “The Look of Love” are standouts, although lesser known numbers such as 'Breakfast in Bed' are sultry surprises.”
-- The Los Angeles Times

"Kirsten Holly Smith does a smashing Dusty Springfield!  Smith captures both the soulfulness and the sultriness of the British chantoozie. ...By the end, you're in love with TWO top-notch singers."
-- The Village Voice

"Springfield's signature songs...  (are) sung with passion and verve by Smith, who combines rich musicality with high-octane conviction and style."
-- LA Weekly
