Mon, 18 Oct 2004, 12:24 amHi,
Has anyone seen the King and I in Perth? Any thoughts or reviews??
I'm thinking of seeing it this week.

So if the show had received a bad review in The West, would the whole cast have been sacked, the production cancelled and people refunded their money? Maybe if the MS Society feels so strongly about this apparently below par performance, why don't they refund the money to the public who attended that night?
Probably because that'd be stupid. Just like it's stupid to sack a group of actors who've wasted their own time and money in attending rehearsals and selling tickets, over 3 complaints, from the hundreds who attended and apparently weren't quite so disgusted.
In any case, as someone correctly pointed out, if they were going to sack anyone, sack the director and sack the MD. If these performers stank so much, they shouldn't have made it on stage.
If the MS Society is going to be such ballbreakers and care so deeply about the level of performance that they present to the public (at near professional prices), then maybe they should just pay for a professional cast and crew.
