Hi,


Has anyone seen the King and I in Perth? Any thoughts or reviews??
I'm thinking of seeing it this week.

I'm still slightly confused...is it ACTUALLY the MS Society who is fully responsible for putting this production on?

If so, it doesn't seem quite so surprising to me that things are stuffed up...no disrespect, but what does the MS Society know about putting on high-standard theatre productions?

For instance, our Big Hoo-Haa crew are organising a comedy show in the south west soon, where all proceeds will be given to the Cancer Support Association of WA....but you can be damned sure we won't be letting them organize it or make artistic decisions about the comedy - and that's how it should be! They're good at what they do (hence our desire to support) and we're good at what we do...and if anyone got ripped off or treated badly (or didn't laugh) surely we'd be the ones responsible?


I'm reading above that people should be voicing complaints to the MS Society....but who is really running this production, in a theatre-entrepreneur sense? Who is responsible for this mess?

I guess they're hiding, because they're not appearing to come out of this discussion in a good light. Perhaps we're 'Getting To Know' them a little too well?



Cheers
Craig
