How did people like the change of venue ??Also how accurate were everyone's predictions ?I was pretty well in agreeance with the adjudicators except that I thought SNOOPY would be second or third placed musical rather than SOUND OF MUSIC. ( I predicted Snoopy 2nd Me & My Girl 3rd ).I also thought that GARDEN PARTY, DEQ AND KADS' LIPSTICK DREAMS would be in the top 20.In fact I had Lipstick Dreams picked in the top 10. ( So I was way out there ).Am I totally out on a limb here or do I have a special fondness for KADS and Blak Yak ? ( I'm a member of both clubs.....but had nothing to do with any of these shows ). Even critics find it difficult distancing themselves from their home club , I freely admit this.These comments are in no way a criticism of the adjudicators, who do a great job. I'm just interested in sparking a discussion. I was going to try and organise a preFinleys live chat, but couldn't find the time.Kim

Hi SueI think you have answered your own question - it would be a nightmare. You can see from Grant that our attempts to judge the "best" play are supject to critisism, can you imagine what it would be like if we tried to recognise individuals for whatever reason.George> I agree it would be a nightmare to mark for the adjudicators.>> I certainly wouldnt like to attempt to judge some of those fantastic> perfromances, on sunday night alone.> on another note, I have a friend interested in branching out> into more musicals, and was hoping to find out what other clubs were> planning in 1999, to perform???> Sue> Acorn Theatre
