The Sapphires

by Tony Briggs

1969. Vietnam. Bombs are dropping and the world is exploding in protest. Back at the Tiki Club in St Kilda, four Koori soul sisters from country Victoria catch the eye of a big-city talent scout with their Supremes cover group. But his plans for their international future aren't quite the lifelong dream the MacCrae girls had in mind.
They're off to sing for the troops on the front line. This swinging celebration of all the joy and heartbreak of family tells the true story of The Sapphires as they shake it for the troops and push sibling love to its limits. This terrific production features the soul hits that defined a generation.
