WE WILL ROCK YOU

That is pretty harsh review with very little justification...I saw the show on its opening night down in bunbury and then its closing night at MPAC. "maybe the director should have seen the show before she directed it" That statement pretty much supports the idea of the show does it not, if a director copies the show that was put on originally then would not every single show that is produced turn out the same, like the world presented in the show? "nice use of an old seti... not!!!" While I agree that the set was quite plain i do believe it worked well for the show, having to transport it between three different venues. I do think that in the 2 shows i saw it looked quite similar something which should be typical of something that tours. And does it matter whether it was reused I agree with Darren, well done for resuing it, better for the environment and a way to keep the costs down. Being from a school environment we do this all the time, so I don't see how this is an issue. "and im very sorry but the gay teen queens were just wrong!!!!!!!!" If you liked the original so much surely you woulda hve realised they were slightly camp in that too were they not? "the 'sex' was just not needed!!! if your going to do it do it well!!!! not some half ass go at trying to do something like that......" I think that this scene/transition was presented extremely well, for all of the comedic action around it, it still contained the sensuality that was required. "get leads who can sing" Hahaha, thats goot be a joke. I have talked to many people who saw the show multiple times and quite a few of them think that the cast was a whole load stronger vocally than the professional production that toured and to that I must agree. Jason Arrow has an amazing voice and so does Sky, and when the girl playing Meat sung the slow song (sorry i cant recall the name) i was almost in tears!!! I think the whole cast was amazing vocally. "and brit was very much like captain feathersword!! very good priate not very good britany!!!" I think Shem played this character extremely well, while his vocal ability wasn't at the level of everyone else his characterisation I think was spot on. "no need for the madonna boobs!! just wrong" All I'll say....historical reference? "lighting was shit! no idea at all in such a great venue...." As something I am really passionate about, I'd like to say that this show (as far as I know) didnt have a dedicated lighting designer, it was a case of using the ideas of the director and the skills of the in house techies at each venue, I think in Bunbury the lighting was shocking but by the time it got to MPAC it had improved greatly, I do believe that had the lighting been any more complex it would have detracted from the show. A show with a simple set needs simple lighting, this obviously wasnt a show with a huge budget for visuals but what it lacked in them it made up in talent in the cast. You say: "killer queen weak weak weak weak..." Now to this i agree slightly, I dont think she was as weak as you say but it was the decision of the director to place her in this role, I do however also think that this characters was type cast as a larger person with a big belting voice. I do commend carole however for giving it her all and i still reckon she did do a great job "next time have a think about how you are going to stage it before you try and stage another show!!!" I think you need to think about your reviews before posting them... I think the cast and crew of this show need a massive round of applause, and BRAVO to you all!
