It’s been more than 50 years since Marcia Hines arrived in Australia to join the cast of Hair and her latest tour, Still Shining, acknowledges the 22 albums, 2.6 million album sales and countless chart-topping singles she has enjoyed since.
She will bring the concert tour to The Art House at Wyong on Sunday, March 23 at 2pm, presented by Great Southern Nights.
Following the success of her debut in Hair, Hines went on to play Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar.
She achieved her greatest commercial successes as a recording artist during the late 1970s with several hit singles, including cover versions of Fire and Rain, I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself, You and Something’s Missing (In My Life).
She was voted Queen of Pop by TV Week readers for three consecutive years from 1976.
Hines stopped recording in the early 1980s until she returned with Right Here and Now in 1994, the same year she became an Australian citizen.
She was the subject of the 2001 biography Diva: the life of Marcia Hines, which coincided with the release of the compilation album Diva.
Hines was the favourite judge on the original Australian Idol show for seven consecutive years from 2003-2009 and returned to the judging panel in 2024 for the Seven Network’s new version.
Her 2006 album, Discotheque, peaked at number six on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) albums chart.
She was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007 and given the Order of Australia (AM) in 2009 in acknowledgement of her services to the Australian entertainment industry.
