Hi All,

**** HOT OFF THE PRESS ****

Just wanted to let you know about the generous offer made by Playlovers for the upcoming Sondheim musical ASSASSINS... (which I just happen to be appearing in...as John Wilkes Booth)

Opening night ONLY, the offer is 2 tickets for the price of one. That works out to $8.50 per person!!! No better value in town!!! Cheaper than the cinema!!! Need I go on....!

You can book on 0415 777 173 (between 10am-6pm) But get in quick, this won't last long, I'm sure.

The opening night is: Friday 28th April (Friday week)

Other dates (if you can't make opening night): April 29th, May 3rd, 5th-7th, 10th-13th

I would love to see you all there!!! It's a great show and very funny, very black and VERY different (in a good way)...and I'm great, by the way...hmmmmm - I'll just quickly take my humility tablet...

*** PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU THINK MAY BE INTERESTED ***

Regards,
Jason

RE: HALF PRICE TICKETS!!!

What a sensational deal. (I'm a Plover committee member but I'm in no other way involved with this particular show). All I can say is that with a cast like this one it can't be anything but fab! You might like to know that David Meadows is in the show. Being the controversial young man that he is of late you might want to go just to see him. Will he be subjected to criticism of a cruel or constructive nature? Will Jason Seperic live up to his review of himself? (..and I'm great, by the way...) Come and answer these questions for yourself. (Anything that might get bums on seats is worth a go!) See y'all there! Gill

*Gulp* I think I'm gonna regret this...I have since taken those humility pills (down boy, WOOF -- !)

By the way, in addition to Myself and the venerable David ('Sweaty Butcher') Meadows, the incredibly talented cast includes:

Helen McFarlane (Sara Jane Moore - tried to assassinate Pres.Gerald Ford - 1975)
Cynthia Fenton (Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme - Pres. Gerald Ford - 1975)
Nick Christo (John Hinkley - tried to assassinate Pres. Ronald Reagan - 1981)
Greg Jones (Leon Czolgosz - assassinated Pres William McKinley - 1901)
James McNeill (Charles J Guiteau - assassinated Pres James Garfield - 1881)
Jarrad West (Lee Harvey Oswald - assassinated Pres John Kennedy - 1963)
Clayton Zwanenberg (Giuseppe Zangara - tried to assassinate Pres-elect Franklin Roosevelt - 1933)

and, or course, -

David Meadows (Sam Byck - tried to assassinate Pres. Richard Nixon - 1973)
Myself (John Wilkes Booth - assassinated Abraham Lincoln - 1865)

Plus a wonderful ensemble of strong singers. What more could you ask for!!!

FYI - some more background on each of these vibrant characters can be found at:

http://www.iserv.net/~mamiller/assassin.htm (which, hopefully, will be back up soon).

All of them fascinating characters to play, in a show where the writing is so clever it can go from the blackest of scenes to slapstick in a heartbeat... best described as:

"A Musical Vaudeville on the subject of Presidential Assassination"

Hope to see you all there...

Jason

Hi - Me again -

Just wanted to say that I hope to see you all at ASSASSINS! This is one of the most interesting, facinating, and intelligent shows I have ever been involved with and I would love for you all to come and see it...and the opening night 2-for-the-price-of-1 offer is still on, so give Liz a ring on 0415 777 173. Opening this Friday 28/4.

BTW - I'm STILL great...oops - gotta get me some more of those pills...

Regards
Jason
