First of all I would like to congratulate Grant and Julia for getting having ambition to form their own company. Secondly I would like to offer a piece of advice. I don't consider myself to be an expert, but I have been heavily involved with non-professional theatre for the past 10 years. In my expereince being part of the creative team and performing on stage do not mix. I saw Chicago on Sunday night and I felt that the production suffered from lack of direction. It is very difficult for the director/choreographer to be objective when they are on stage themselves. I could definitely see the talent and potential of the cast, but I could not shake the feeling that something was missing.

Well what can I say.....

I had the pleasure of being part of the cast of Chicago and this may prove to be a bias review but these things happen....

Never in my time of involvement in the theatre have I met such driven and inspirational people such as Julia and Grant. The effort and enthusiasm of turning a dream into a reality for them, not only once but twice, is astounding. I am in awe of their professionalism and ambition. This was an amazing project to accomplish under any circumstances and the way that they went about it is commendable to anyone, let alone directors of their age.

The cast of Chicago should be applauded for their efforts and the amazing preformances they delivered. I consider it an honour to have been a part of this amazing group of people.

I look forward to Act One Scene One being a familiar name in the theatre scene here in Perth.
