I can't help but notice that the fairy stories, viz 'Peter Pan' (Darlington) and 'Sleeping Beauty' (Harbour) are both sellouts for the rest of their seasons, whereas the big musicals are struggling to get good houses. This will surely not go without attention by play selection committees for next year :?

Nothing wrong with New

The only thing about doing new stuff is you have to market it even harder. Old shows sell themselves. New shows need to have a great hook!

Bare is one of those examples where the show is good enough that word of mouth can really sell it, but you have to put that word in somehow. I noticed that the publicty work was fairly extensive for this show with flyers and posters turning up all over the place - the local Video Ezy, Dominos, Shopping Centre and so on.
