About the Show

This Lonely Heart traces the touching life-story of Roy Orbison utilizing the personal interview collection of  Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame disk jockey, Red Robinson, who's interviews with Roy span a twenty-five year period. Much of the show's story-line was formed from personal comments provided by Roy Orbison. You'll relive the highs and lows of Roy's incredible climb to the top and the part he played in the history of popular music. You'll hear all the rock'n'roll anthems and heart-felt ballads that prompted Elvis to quote "Roy Orbison is the best pop singer in the world." It's a timeless combination of nostalgia and panache performed by Larry Branson... the original leading man of London's West End hit musical "The Roy Orbison Story" in which he played the Orbison role for over three years. 

After more than a decade of performing as Roy Orbison in musical productions around the world, Larry Branson has fulfilled a life-long dream. Larry is forever thrilled to play the role and considers each performance a personal tribute to his mentor and idol... Roy Orbison. Branson, a Canadian, is particularly pleased to have this new show titled after his self-penned song "This Lonely Heart"... an everlasting tribute recording (for Roy) performed in the unmistakable Orbison style. A great star... a great show... a great evening with Larry Branson as Roy Orbison. Don't miss it. This Lonely Heart... you'll see it, and simply not believe it!
