Rock Apocalypse - Perth

I agree!

Amature does not have to mean unprofessional. The production was about 2 testosterone filled guys throwing eachother around and laughing at themselves at the expense of the integrity of the cast, crew, band and theatre group. Let's just put this down to a lack of organisation and hope that all involved have learned from the experience. I hope that JETS is able to recover from this as it is a great company (except for this blip)

Hi a parent of one of the cast members in this play, I know first hand how hard they all worked to get this performance off the ground, all the negative comments are really disappointing to read. These people have worked their butts off for this play and OK maybe it wasn't the best thing JETS has done but give them some credit, I mean they are not hanging around some street corner or getting square eyes and obese by sitting at the computer/TV all evening. To all those people who posted negative things lets see you get up there and make a better fist of it then I think you will have a better understanding of how hard it is to get any play off the ground.Just a small comment to Tim-if you felt that the cast was not going to be up to the job at the audition phase why not call it off then rather than push on flogging a dead horse? On a positive note I actually enjoyed the performance on the last Saturday and although it wasn't one of the best it certainly hasn't put me off AmDram productions. Good luck to JETS in the future

The word is faux pas

well this whole thing has just gotten silly hasn't it??....i sincerely aplogise about my grammer...it was late and i'd had a few wines. umm i gave an opinion of a show...and now i'm a troll??? it sounds like Mr Tim is much better at passing the buck than accepting mistakes.

Money back? Did u spend $100 on a ticket or something? You must have since you obviously expected something akin to a professional production of Phantom of the Opera at the Albert Hall. It was amateur theatre for goodness sake! what a lot of whining. And as pointed out, a lot of the cast are already working full time, the theatre work is something they do in spare time.

That shouldn't be an excuse for a bad production!

Hey Folks (DISCLAIMER: I permformord in this show, hardly an impartial influence) I was the guitarist in this show. The band did this show after the prior MD pulled out, for reasons out of their control. We were asked to do the show by a Musican that I (and I assume the rest of the band) have an enourmous amount of respect for. I see Music as a weapon of peace. For one slight moment, all the time, all the tears, and all the passion we have put into learning how to play, how to perform, hits our audience in the form of sound. I hope every performance can incite suprise, lust, anger, tears, and happyness into the audience we play to. If there is any chance of peace in the world, music would be it. With it for a moment, even just one second, we can entice people to see what we see, feel what we feel. Once you have stood in your enemys shoes, it is hard to shoot at him. This show did not deliver. Please try to understand that I am not here to put up my name defending a show which I belive should not have gone one at the time that it did. THAT SAID The show WAS put on under extranious circumstances. Lets cut the crap, the venue was a shocker(no aircon, no cuirculation, no chance!), some of the performers really, really, couldn't sing, and lack of professional audio/visiul technician compromised the gig(apologies to the tech, I for one understand they were brought in on short notice, and are not pros. You did an amazing job considering the experience and time you had). This show, poor script or otherwise, was bitten and infected by the amateur bug. Tim, for any of his shortcomings, was a pleasure to work with. Bullshit aside, he did what he did with what he had. I thank people for their genuine feedback. Its one of the few ways in our beatiful city of Perth that amatuer theatre and musicals can continue to grow. The rest of you, shame. Shame on you all. Amelia has asked for a review, not a subscription to "Shit-slinging weekly". Peace Vlad

Oh, so you're familiar with The West Australian then?
