Gibbs Calls for Tech Killings
Fri, 25 May 2001, 08:01 amGeoff Gibbs slams a current Blue Room production:
"Jacquie Reid in her one woman show Crime! The Musical survived one of the most devastating first nights I have ever witnessed."
"Had she shot the sound technician, murdered the director, dismembered the designer and garrotted the lighting operator everyone in the audience would have defended her action as justifiable."
In between taking shots at practically everyone involved in the production, Gibbs does find time to compliment Reid's performance as "a significant addition to Australian cabaret repertoire by an exceptional woman."

I'm flattered at being quoted by none other than Pappa himself& I'm encouraged to add a couple of personal favourites.
From the late & great Colleen Clifford when talking to the cast after a show she hadn't liked."Wonderful Footwork everyone"!!
AND; another "generic " comment in those circumstances--"That must have been lots of hard work"
That one can apply almost equally no matter what the end result looks like!
AND;a lovely quote I heard while living in London,which a Muso like Pappa will appreciate came from an Oboeist(?),who when asked who had conducted the concert he had played at the previous night said,"Oh,I forgot to look!".
OOROO ALL.
