WE WILL ROCK YOU

Ok! Fair enough I did not back up my comments... But some of the things that I commented on could have been changed or tweaked to make the show a little more interesting and enjoyable to the audience... I have seen many community theatre shows where they have reused sets and costumes but have may them a little different and more suiting to the show at hand. I felt that the set for WWRY was boring and not interesting at all… Instead of being futuristic the set looked as if it was made quickly in someone’s shed, it was also painted white!? White just looked wrong and would have looked much better black or sliver.. Much more forgiving!!! In saying that I thought the director should have seen the show, I feel they didn’t get some of the show i.e. the start of the show I felt the direction was wrong the comedy should have come from the dialogue not what he was doing to make it funny. Also I feel the characters Madonna etc should have been funny because it was such a large man named Madonna and not because he had such big boobs………. You say: “You say:
"nice use of an old seti... not!!!"
I'm guessing from this comment that the seti used for WWRY was also used for another show. So what! I'm sure you realize that community theatre's have limited budgets and that it is common practice to re-use materials and even entire seti pieces. (This is also very good for the environment - a conservationists award to MLT - BRAVO!) While I personally would have liked to have seen more done with the seti - particularly in the way of dressing it for the different scenes - I think it was cleverly utilised and suited the production that was put on.” I agree with you in saying that you have liked more done with the set! Yes! I found it too boring!!! You say “You say:
"and im very sorry but the gay teen queens were just wrong!!!!!!!!"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the themes presented by this show is the androgynous nature of humanity in the future. In which case, categorisation by sexuality is somewhat non-existant... Or are you simply homophobic then?? The "gay teen queens" as you put it were not wrong, you just didn't like them. You are entitled to your opinion, just as the director is entitled to direct her production the way she wants to. I thought the "gay teen queens" worked quite well! I feel the teen queens didn’t work well, because they should have been female and male clones, therefore there should have been all female… no I’m not homophobic far from it, I feel it just didn’t work! And the waxing scene was just wrong! It wasn’t needed... it was made very gay instead of being something out of clueless or mean girls if you know what I mean… No I wasn’t wrong about saying about the cast couldn’t sing. I thought the only one that sang well was Meat. I too out of all the All of the professional singers I have spoken to re this production agree with me as well! Im sorry but by you saying that brit could sing is wrong… he spoke most of his lyrics!!! And Gary’s character Commander Khashoggi had his songs taken off him by the other cast or chorus members…….. He also played a greasy character (as always) instead of a clean cut, smart, wise assistant. Yes I do believe brit was very much like captain Feathersword!! Very good pirate not very good Brittany!!! And you may disagree and I too have seen the wiggles but I did hear a resemblance between Cptn Feathersword and Shem Le Scelle's performance of Brit. He may have looked gutsy, energetic and VERY masculine. But sorry sounded like Cptn Feathersword!!! Yes the lighting wasn’t that great! No idea at all in such a great venue...."
 and yes really!! I did say that and we may have seen different performances! But the lighting on the night I went was too bright for this show and all the same states!!! Nothing different or interesting. It was way way way too bright for this kind of show, it should have been much darker and dull until they found the guitar, which is their kind of Holy Grail!!! Understand??? I don’t think that would have been too difficult to adapt a lighting design to 3 different rigs in 3 VERY different venues??? Yes killer queen weak weak weak weak.. and yes Carole Dhu - by her own admission – I bet has said to you that she was not completely right for the part. Then she should have done it!!! Yes I too Personally, I would have preferred a bigger woman with a gutsier voice. Yes next time I do believe that MLT should have a think about how they are going to stage it before you try and stage another show!!!"
 I don’t believe it is silly. There may have been a lot of thought put into how this production would be staged. But I think with how long they had for rehearsals they should have been able to produce an more interesting show that wasn’t the same through out… it didn’t grow and keep the audience interested… in saying that things could have been changed a little to create a more professional show ie costume, sound, lx, props, and set.. Just if they thought about how all these areas work together with some kind of design it would have been fine! But it felt as if they went to some community theatre jumble sale… MLT shouldn’t have toured this show to 3 venues, all of them different sizes and with capabilities miles apart. If they couldn’t have handled it I feel they should have taken it on and focus on one venue and more shows? yes The Kwinana Community Arts Centre theatre is about half the size of MPAC.. So that in its self should say to the producers do one show in one venue or in another venue that is around the same size to create a high standard show. Why should I put my name on my review??? It may be in your eyes Cowardly. And no I wont take your part in wizard instead I will see you at rehearsals on the 1st!!! And no you wont be putting the hard-working, dedicated crew that are involved in that production through that because the crew there are great! And know a lot about community theatre… Regards, Bomber
