"2007 Limelight Theatre - Cabaret // 2008 Kwinana Theatre Workshop - Cabaret Tough act to follow - winner of Best Musical 2007 Finley’s (so why?)" 1. Because we'd already programmed it before Limelight won the Finley 2. Because we'd already changed the season once as someone else was doing the same show within a couple of months (3p Opera) and we WEREN'T going to change it again! 3. Because Kwinana and Wanneroo are almost an hour apart and have totally different catchments! Honestly, has ANYONE who lives North of the River ever gone to see a show at Kwinana? (unless they knew someone in it) It's only diehards like me (us?) who travel that far to see stuff! 4. Because I can guarantee you that anyone who saw Wanneroo's production and then sees Kwinana's will see two totally different shows! 5. (and most importantly) Because once a show reaches classic status our relationship with it changes. We no longer expect to see the "whole" show in one sitting, but expect our understanding and appreciation of the work to grow and adapt as we see different productions... The work is less like a mirror and more like a gem! Needless to say, if I'd thought Limelight's production was close in style and interpretation to what we were going to do I would have reprogrammed Thank you Paul Treasure The soon to be insane director of KTW's Cabaret PS Besides, I've done more than my fair share of stuff no one else has ever touched, I'm allowed to a classic occasionally!
