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.

I agree on the price point.

I agree on the price point. $40 for student tickets may be "reasonable" in comparison to some companies, but is it working? I would love to see Into The Woods - I'm a huge fan of Sondheim and ITW is a beautifully-written and clever musical - but unfortunately it's smack bang in the middle of exams for UWA students and, I presume, most other unis. Perhaps the student market should be taken into account a little more? $40 is a slap in the face for a lot of students and a lot of artists, when we can see an incredible show (mostly professional or co-op) at the Rechabites, Blue Room or PICA for about $12. And yes, the Subi Arts Centre is a great venue but so is the Dolphin where we (UDS) rent out to hold our shows, and we charge $9 for students. I'm not saying ITW isn't on a higher level to these shows - I'm sure it's fantastic, given the people I hear are in the cast - and I know there are a LOT of costs to be taken into account - but supply/demand is certainly something to think about. If bums on seats is what you're after, what about a student rush night? Tightarse Tuesday? --- Louisa Fitzhardinge University Dramatic Society http://uds.asn.au
