Step into the electrifying world of Chrissy Amphlett, the rebel-queen of Australian rock, in Amplified: The Exquisite Rock and Rage of Chrissy Amphlett.
This high-voltage cabaret, presented as part of the 2025 RISING festival by University of Melbourne Arts and Culture (UMAC), celebrates the untamed legacy of the Divinyls’ iconic frontwoman, blending her raw talent, fierce spirit, and unforgettable music into a live-wire journey through her life and career.
From the sticky carpets of Aussie pubs to global acclaim, Chrissy Amphlett redefined rock’n’roll with her audacious blend of sexuality and vulnerability. Now, powerhouse performer Sheridan Harbridge (Prima Facie) channels Chrissy’s seismic energy, backed by a live band, in a show co-created with acclaimed director Sarah Goodes (Julia).
Set against the backdrop of the ‘80s rock scene, Amplified takes audiences backstage, through star-studded performances, and into the heart of an artist ahead of her time. Don’t miss this unforgettable tribute to a trailblazer who left an indelible mark on Australian music.
Catch Amplified at the University of Melbourne’s Union Theatre from 11-13 June 2025. Tickets are on sale now—prepare for a night of rock, rage, and pure rebellion,
