Psycho Beach Party
Wed, 23 July 2003, 11:05 pmOnce upon a time....in a far away land....(other wise known as Kalamunda) .....King Nick.... got together the perfect cast to tell a summer time tale... in the middle of winter. Go Figure!!!
Somehow he managed to bribe, blackmail or coherce mulitple talented people to brave the journey, bare their bodies and souls to produce....
an amazingingly funny, cross of Hitchock meets Gidget in the true Blak Yak tradition of original, interesting off the wall theatre.
My friend and I laughed and laughed and couldn't believe the twists and turns. First there were the guys, talented hunks, enough to melt the winter frost away. The women were amazing, one of the most frightening Mothers -- a cross from Father Knows Best and the best of the horror shows, I hope Jenny McCann isn't too scarred from the experience. I felt I met true greatness when I watched Julia Dalby dazzle us all. Melissa Merchant showed a depth of range and character that was amazing, I would say she stole the show, but that would be untrue because each person on that stage owned their characters and were flawless in their parts.
Tim Edwards was unrecognizable as the Great Kanaka, a total change, very spooky. I could go on and on. But you have to get there, go and have the very best laugh, enjoy yourself. The MUSIC IS GREAT. (CD available in the lobby). Leave the kids behind (or cover their ears in a few parts). Take a trip back to the surf/beach days, I recommend this to everyone, be there or be square. Laugh yourself silly and chuckle at bits all the way home.
PS Watch out for Kim Wallace, she melts men with a glance, Adam & Troy will leave you gasping for air, Alex steals your heart, Michael and Francie groove along and Melanie is the best friend you always wished for.
PSII Costumes are lots of fun
PS III Kalamunda isn't really that far, you don't need a passport, well worth the journey, bring a friend, bring a group, just don't miss it.

I really really enjoyed the show as well. It was hilarious. I laughed so hard. It was great fun.
I agree that Chicklet was fantastic. Melissa Merchant is extremely talented. I'm so jealous :) I didn't think that Berdine was as bad as John Mitchell said, though. I agree that she could have done a lot more with the role, and she was a little flat at some points (mainly her final speech) but overall I thought she did a pretty good job. Her accent was very consistent. Her costumes were really effective.
I loved Mrs Forrest, she was amazing ... very very funny ... I liked the peter belt scene, too. And I really liked Bettina Barnes and Marvel Ann as well. Although I had to pick my boyfriend's jaw up off the flaw when Marvel Ann first came out in the blue bikini (is that tan real?)
Starcat was absolutely gorgeous and the Great Kanaka and his spanking paddle made me laugh A LOT! But my favourites were Yo-Yo and Provoloney ... they were the best. They were so cute! I think their kiss scene is the best stage kiss I've seen all year :)
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
