Re: Last Days of Weimar?

I've seen it and LOVED it. (Mind you I've seen all of Yellow Glass Theatre's Shows and loved them all)

Basically, it looks at the composers and cabaret artists banned, exiled or otherwise victimised by the Hitler's third reich and is a tribute to these brilliant lost talents.

It is sensitive and sad, but has wonderful touches of humour and whimsy.

The performers are outstanding. The show looks and sounds fantastic.

GO AND SEE IT! THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR!

So much more to say but I don't have time.

Go!

Love Kristi

I saw this wonderful show on Friday night. Goodness me where does all this talent come from in Perth! The atmosphere was perfect for this thinking person's musical. From the opening note till the last candle snuffing canon I was mesmorized. In particular I would like to congratulate Simon and Chris on their casting. Each voice was totally different yet blended beautifully. Ali with her sultry, jazz voice suited the songs chosen for her. The gorgeous and talented Suzie Mathers excelled in the challenging songs for her, what a beautiful, expressive face she has! It was my first time in having the pleasure in seeing and hearing the talent of Rhoda Lopez and I couldnt keep my eyes off her. Her voice and stage presence was unbelievable. Chris Kabay told wonderful stories with his voice and acting. How clever he is to sing 'Masculinum - Femininum' and make it look so easy! Congratulations also to Chris for his choreography and overall design. Simon Holt's voice is smooth and faultless. He and Rhoda made me say 'wow' at the end of their beautiful duette 'A Little Yearning'. Bravo! to all involved. Overall, a most extraordinary and amazing piece of theatre. Please, please do go and see this most professional piece of entertainment.
