It justs seems to get better and better for WA Stage School. A Chorus Line was everything you would want from an evening of Musical Theatre. Wonderful Comic and Emotive Acting, Great renditions of classic songs and dynamic dancing by a talented task. The Show closed last Saturday at the Subiaco Arts Centre you missed the chance to see a young and talented cast do their staff so professionaly. I have now seen 3 shows from WA Stage School and each time they have lifted the Performance excellence of the shows they have produced. They continue to unearth wonderful talent. Keep up the great work WA Stage School and keep doing the great job by providing our young performers the rare and invaluable experience of Performing on the Professional Perth Stage. Can't wait till the next show

Or Does It????

Thank you Don for an honest and constructive opinion. Far, far, far too often we see sycophantic (or maybe even self-serving advertising) postings such as the original one in this thread. It is annoying without end that everyone on this site seems to allow mutual admiration societies to proliferate, without bringing these type of posters to account. It was particularly impressive that you did not maliciously attack the production or specifically identify faulty performances. Many other reviewers tend toward negativity, often leaving the impression they are pushing their own barrows. You have merely offered suggestions on how the production, in your opinion, may have been improved. And not just generalised subjective waffle but specific and real ways in which you believe the whole thing could have been done better. I did not see this production. I am in no way qualified to comment on it. I am merely trying to support what appears to be a refreshingly honest attempt to improve. If it is truly our real intent to "raise the bar", we need much, much more constructive comment such as yours Don. -------------------------------------------------------- "The truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with."
