FLTT...Has anyone seen it?
Sun, 10 Feb 2002, 11:16 amThis may seem a strange request, but as I have recently relocated to Melbourne, I haven't been able to bask in the glow of all those wonderful compliments (err umm) after the performances of the cabaret show 'Funny Lovin' That Theatre' at Garrick, which I directed. If people have seen it, would they mind giving me their comments either on this web site or through my email. It was my first real directorial thing and any feedback would be welcome.
Thanks

Hiya! Eliot and I saw the show last Saturday night and we both thought it WAS GREAT! Thoroughly enjoyed the choice of songs and execution. Style of the night was excellent! (the weather was brilliant). Little comic links were good and certainly no more than that was required. I found myself wondering what a "non-Sondheim" audience would make of it but everyone seemed to be enjoying the presentation so much that not knowing the songs was irrelevant. Good call! The team's enunciation was one of the highlights - everyone was striving to be understood and that is such a HUGE part of getting a song across.
It was evident that you had given lots of thought to the "look" of the show reflecting the right mood too. I particularly liked your staging of (oops..memory's fading) Don't Leave me on a Sunday? Very evocative stuff. I thought you made good use of the different entrances and exits available to you to catch the immediate interest of the audience. Changes were quick and tidy and managed well. Of course I bawled all the way through Kristine's Marry Me a Little, then Jason's Being Alive and Hayley & Paul's Move On. Those tissues were out in the second half!
The cast worked so well together that the audience was at ease at once and that coupled with the gorgeous atmosphere made for an extremely pleasant evening's entertainment. Well done babe! You got there despite the odds. Many a more seasoned director would have quit months ago. Bouquets to you for your determination and success.....oh, and for Valentine's Day.
Incidentally....the place was PACKED!!
