Chicago
Mon, 26 Mar 2001, 09:36 pmFirst 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.

Hello suckers!!
What I would like to add is that yes, Julia and Grant did have the lead roles in the show, and yes they were the driving forces behind the shows creation but I (in my 11 years of professional and amateur theatre experience) have never seen a group of 'youngish' people with such drive, determination and professionalism. I would like to challenge all critics of people like them to stage such a successful and polished show and to perform well in the lead roles at the same time. The audience numbers, let alone the audience reaction, were proof enough that the show was a resounding success.
BTW I think I figured out what Emmalee's missing aspect of the show was. The $65 price of the ticket...
