Souvenir Brochure World Premiere The Independent Theatre Sydney 2005
"Rosie" is inspired by the life of Rose Shaw (1905-1971), the free-spirited Cockney girl who dreamed of becoming a great singer like Melba and a great dancer like Pavlova. Instead, she became a flower seller and, from a stall in Martin Place, Sydney, serenaded her customers and passers-by for forty years. Brash and indomitable Rose, dreamer of impossible dreams, was a Sydney legend.
"Rosie" is a bright new musical which follows our heroine's adventures through Sydney from Martin Place to bohemian Kings Cross where she lived. Champion of the outsider and the underdog, Rose lived life to the full by her own unconventional rules. The music of "Rosie" is full of melody and vitality and as nostalgic as the Verdi and Puccini operas which Rose loved to sing. The lyrics reflect her courage and optimism.
