yellow glass theatre have done it again. A superb production of this little seen musical. Cast is excellent, proving yet again that WA has a huge talent base. It would not be fair to single anyone out - they were all inspiring! I had not realised what a funny show it was! I loved the set and costumes - the Princes' "leather" ensemble was fabulous. Special mention should go to Simon Holt (musical director) who did a wonderful job and to Chris Kabay (artistic director) who manages to bring out the best in all his cast. Don't miss it! It is on until 14 June at Subiaco Theatre. Bookings through BOCS.

anyone got anything to say about the show?

This is the review section. Maybe air this in another forum? Otherwise we'll end up with the traditional messy forum in which we all lose sight of the point of the original posting- the review of the artistic product itself. and my feeling would be that, as the Sunday Times are reviewing, it follows that it's likely the actors are getting paid. They have been in previous productions by this company. More of a concern to me is that it appears there aren't many people going to see this show (based on contact from friends in the cast), despite what appears to be uniformly excellent reviews... typical Perth (lack of) support methinks?! If the people come and the shows sell out, you might find someone like Yellowglass more able to pay the talent what I think they would like to, rather than what they can actually afford. I am unable to see it until right near the end of the season unfortunately, but am expecting something special. Review will come then! Nev It's the simple things stupid...
