Writer/director Anthony Innéo is not only haunted by Dusty Springfield, the legendary pop singer, but theorizes that most other modern Americans are, too. That was the inspiration for his concert theater-piece, "All Her Faces - A Portrait of Dusty Springfield," which attempts to conjure the blue-eyed, white lady of soul back to life through her songs. La MaMa E.T.C. will present the work June 1 to 10, 2007 in its second-floor Club. The creative staff and performing ensemble are rich in Broadway veterans.

"All Her Faces - A Portrait of Dusty Springfield" features some of the singer's best and least known songs and goes far beyond biography to look behind the stories and memories surrounding one of pop music’s great voices and personalities. The piece seeks to unveil the musical and emotional truth underlying the woman, her music, and the magic that attracted legions of fans for decades.

The show is a "romantic fantasy" depicting a young man, Jesse, who – while recreating her songs - comes to grips with Dusty's magic. When Jesse discovers his father's collection of Dusty Springfield 45’s, he puts down his iPod and he and his dad embark on a journey that will bring them closer to her than either one could have imagined. Fans of Dusty Springfield, as well as those who've only heard of her legendary contributions throughout the 60’s and 70’s, will not want to miss this opportunity to take a closer look at "all her faces."

The concert features 20 Dusty Springfield songs, sung to piano and synthesizer, percussion, acoustic and electric guitars. Selections will include Dusty's well-known hits "You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me," "I Only Want To Be With You," "Son of a Preacher Man" and many lesser-known songs.
