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

All right. This is it...
All those out there in cyberland who saw the poster for R+J- hands up.
Good.
Right, now all those of you who saw the poster and noticed the lack of clothes- hands up.
Fine.
Now, all those of you who saw the poster and noticed the lack of clothes, and HONESTLY expected there would be nudity in a GRADS production of the show- hands up.
Thought so. Not very many of you, are there??
The poster worked. WHY??? Because it caught the eye. Yes, the unclothed figures on the poster may have had something to do with it, but you cannot deny its success. After all, the throngs of people who have entered into this maelstrom OBVIOUSLY all saw it and took notice.
Congrats to the GRADS and the desinger of said poster- I personally thought it was an excellent job.
And those of you still with yer hands up- go out and have a bonk, fer Gawd's sake!!! :-p
