NORMIE –The Story So Far: A musical journey through the life of Australia’s original King of Pop.

Take an exhilarating and nostalgic journey with Australian music icon Normie Rowe AO in NORMIE – The Story So Far, a heartfelt live show capturing the highs, lows and unforgettable moments of a legendary career performing.

From his humble beginnings in Melbourne’s working-class suburb of Northcote to global stages and television screens, Normie’s story is one of passion, resilience, and reinvention. This powerful stage show is more than a concert – it’s a celebration of an extraordinary life in music, television and theatre.

Bursting onto the scene in the swinging sixties, Normie became Australia’s first King of Pop, with chart-topping hits including “Que Sera Sera,” “Shakin’ All Over,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “It’s Not Easy” and “Ooh La La.” He created a level of fan hysteria never before seen in Australia.

Called up for Army service at the peak of his fame, Normie served in Vietnam, and on returning, faced the challenge of rebuilding his career from scratch. His evolution from pop idol to acclaimed actor and stage performer – with standout roles in Sons & Daughters and Les Misérables – is a testament to his artistry and determination.Normie was the first King Of Pop. He was far and away, Australia’s most successful pop idol during the explosion of pop music and fashion in the mid-60s.

At the peak of his popularity, Normie was called up for Army service. He served in Vietnam and on his return, found that his earlier success was of little value. He started again in the tough but educational Sydney Leagues club circuit working with big bands. At the same time, he was studying acting and honing his vocal skills. The former led to a long running part in the TV series “Sons & Daughters”. The combination of both led to his critically acclaimed role as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.

His repertoire is drawn from the breadth of this extraordinary performing career. Normie Rowe AO is an Australian treasure and the consummate entertainer. The Story So Far…will provide a soundtrack and insights into an ever-cheerful life filled with exhilarating highs and shattering lows.
