SHOUT! and GOD
Thu, 8 Mar 2001, 11:13 pmCouple of reviews that make interesting reading:
SHOUT!
"Part concert, part theatrical event, Shout! is mainly a celebratory tribute to Australia's rock'n'roll trailblazer, Johnny O'Keefe..."
Yes, God is a man
"This was appalling. Not just weak but depressingly inadequate..."
Cheers

RE: SHOUT! and GOD
I saw "Shout"! in Melbourne when I went home for the holidays.
I loved it and can't wait for it to come to Perth so that I can see it again. David Campbell was amazing, almost indescribable. I am too young to remember Johnny O'Keefe, but I recognised nearly all the songs and by the end of the show I just wanted to run down the aile screaming and grab on to David/Johnny's leg like a deranged fan. The staging was effective and the set was fantastic. I don't want to give too much away, but the closing of the first act was one of the most impactual scenes i have ever seen in a musical. I was sitting there stunned until some one asked me to move so they could get past.
I would have liked just a little more dialogue, at times it was a bit frustrating when a whole song was used to explain something that could be said quite briefly, but I suppose the show was about the music.
The ensemble was strong and the dancing energetic. The energy of the entire show was amazing and it didn't drop once, not even in the more somber and subdued moments of the show.
It would be a shame to miss this one!
