November Visit
Thu, 29 Oct 1998, 10:11 amI am from Melbourne and will be in Perth from November 15th-19th. I am heavily involved in non-professional musical theatre in Victoria, and would like swap notes with people similarly involved in Perth while I am there. If there is any chance to see a production while I am there, that would be fantastic. Looking foreward to hearing from some Perth musical theatre fans.

Thu, 5 Nov 1998, 09:33 amHi DavidNo-one else seems to have bitten the bullet and responded to your post so i'll have a bash - even tho' it's out of my usual area.There a several "musicals" happening here in November, but most of them start on Nov 19! Check the What's On pages for details.What you choose to see may vary according to your taste and how far you are able/willing to travel.As far as companies specialising in musical theatre is concerned, we have quite number of companies that do good work - but not many that exclusively (or even nearly exclusively) do musical theatre.There's the ubiquitous G&S - ours has just finished doing a Coward! We used to have the WA Music Theatre Co. - but i understand it may have folded due to financial difficulties. There's one company (that i personally consider unmentionable for a wide range of reasons) that operates in the western suburbs and produces a fair amount of musical theatre and ballet. And another that i think may be walking a thin line that produces three or four big shows every year.Chats with similarly inclined people? Perhaps Karen or Jason or David might care to join the discussion if they see this message?CheersGrant
