What do you go to see?
Thu, 22 Feb 2001, 10:55 pmHi all,
I would like to open a topic up for discussion.
*What do you go to see at the theatre, what do you avoid and why?
*Do you only like certain types of theatre?
*Do you only go to see what your own club puts on?
*Do you limit yourself to a certain amount of shows each year?
*Do you only go to see shows that you have heard of?
*Do you only go to see a show if you know someone in it?
*Do you only see shows at certain venues?
Tell me everything you think and please be honest. (I am/have been guilty of some of the above so I am not out to judge).
You see, I am currently involved with a fantastic musical that has never before been performed in Perth, many of the handful of people who have seen it so far have raved and yet our bookings are absolutely dismal. I thought that this might happen to some degree because of PIAF but it's worse than I thought. I have heard that other amateur clubs shows are selling out before they open so I am keen to find out why our show is not doing well at the box office. Does the majority REALLY prefer another production of "The Sound of Music" to something new?
Please let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Gill

RE: What do you go to see?
Thu, 22 Feb 2001, 11:23 pmI go to see whatever appeals to me (which is pretty much everything) when I have the money and have transport to and from the venue.
Although most tix costs are low for local productions, I tend to not get to as many shows as I'd like to because I'm relying on parental/public transport and it's often too difficult to arrange.
(yes, i know I'm almost 18, yes, i know it's slack for me to not be driving yet, yes, i know it's no excuse)
Even if I think I can arrange transport somewhere, I know from experience that things often dont go as planned, and so if I do see a show, I prefer to buy tickets at the door.
Hopefully things will pick up,
