INTERVIEW: Cameron Goodall talks about “The Sound of Falling Stars” by Robyn Archer

David & Sue talk to Cameron Goodall who stars in “The Sound of Falling Stars” which is written & directed by Robyn Archer. It’s on at Arts Centre Melbourne at the Playhouse from Wednesday 28th February to Saturday 3rd March. You can book tickets on The Arts Centre website.

The Sound of Falling Stars features 31 of the most popular and beloved voices of the 20th century – artists responsible for songs that have served as soundtracks for the lives of so many.

From Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke and Bobby Darin to Tim and Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Bon Scott, Kurt Cobain and more, this gripping production straddles musical joy and monumental loss.

Actor and singer Cameron Goodall (ex-the Audreys, Sydney Theatre Company, The Lion King) displays his amazing vocal versatility as he magically inhabits the souls of these great singing stars who gave us so much. Cameron is adeptly accompanied on stage by George Butrumlis (accordion) and Enio Pozzebon (keyboard).

With a set list to die for – Are You Lonesome Tonight to Love Will Tear Us Apart, and (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay to Light My Fire – The Sound of Falling Stars celebrates these extraordinary talents and examines our fascination with those who lived fast and died young.

Writer and director Robyn Archer’s one-woman cabaret A Star is Torn honoured the too-short lives of female singers from Bessie Smith to Janis Joplin. It played for a year on the West End and spawned both an album and a book. The Sound of Falling Stars proves itself a worthy successor.
