Oh What a Night - Perth
Fri, 27 Feb 2004, 05:08 pmA seventies musical, fantastic dancing and energetic performances from the chorus who were brilliant. Sadly the plot was thin, the main leads basically even poorer (with the exception of Kathy Sledge and whoever played Stretch Mulligan who both shone) and the sound at Burswood, especially if you were seated near the front, was appalling.
The auditorium was less than a third full, but the audience were as enthusiastic as they could be, after all we'd all paid to be there. Who or what Jack was supposed to be or why he was there still puzzles me.
I'll be most interested to see anyone else's opinion

Fri, 5 Mar 2004, 02:33 amI saw it as a comp and totally agree with what you both said.
It was not what i was expecting - especially for a "musical". We were commenting that the quality was of a standard like a year 12 production [no offence to those who had their year 12 productions that work out :)]
We saw it on the second night and I think that the crew were also having chaos - some of the mikes wern't up when required, the black cloth behind the scrim at the front got stuck and we saw a huge set change [which wouldn't have been to much of a problem but they kept flying the curtain in and out which WAS distracting. I'm sure they go it fixed.
The lighting in my mind was very effective and parts of the set were well thought out - the rest of the parts seemed in the 80s and not the 70s ???
But as both Alan and stefan said - ther music was the best - the singing had its moments but not the fault of the vocalist i think.
THese are just my opions on the show. And have no requirement to offend people - as we are all in the business of art some constructive critisism can be useful :) Oh an god spelling also helps.
We Will ROck You has a lot of saving to do.
