Forest Lawn Cemetery, Hollywood 1964. Jack L. Warner is delivering the eulogy for legendary costume designer Orry-Kelly. But Orry isn’t about to let a little thing like death shut him up.
From small coast town Kiama, Australia to the heights of Golden Age Hollywood, ORRY is a rapid-fire, laugh-out-loud musical play about an unapologetically gay Australian rascal who became confidant to the greatest stars of all time.
Orry-Kelly designed costumes for 285 films, including Casablanca and Some Like It Hot, and won three Oscars. But before the gowns, there was a wild ride: a dangerous Sydney underworld, vaudeville dreams in New York, run-ins with the mob, and a young English stilt walker named Archie Leach, who shared Orry’s home, his business and his heart for five years before becoming the biggest movie star in the world.
Adapted from Orry’s own memoir, ‘Women I’ve Undressed’, the show is packed with name-dropping and jaw-dropping revelations about Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Mae West, Errol Flynn and more, with new arrangements of songs by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Kurt Weill.
Through puppetry, magic, vaudeville, song, dance, stunning digital art and those famous gowns, Orry and his imaginary friend Bijou bring a love story that has never been told to life.
Orry was out, proud and fabulous when that was an enormous risk. Celebrate Mardi Gras with an Australian original.
Written and performed by Nick Hardcastle. A Sydney Mardi Gras festival event at the Eternity Playhouse,…
