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.

Ben Shaw - I didn't say

Ben Shaw - I didn't say they don't have a right to know, I said it's none of their business. Does it affect your opinion of the show if we're being paid or not? moonMeowrice- The sexual undertones in the relationship between the Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood are hidden in the music and text and I believe Sondheim/Lapine intended it that way. It wasn't just a directorial decision. If you analyse it, it's there. :) And on a less subtle note, you must have missed the wolf's boob graze and his highly sexual body language! I am actually blown away that people are complaining about the price of the tickets. I have a lot of student friends who are coming who haven't complained about the price, but I am reminded by this thread that in general, Perth people don't want to pay for anything. I don't believe that the ticket prices are what's stopping people from booking tickets. Apart from people who already know Sondheim or are particularly interested in theatre already, the majority of people aren't open to things they haven't heard of. I bet anything that if we were doing Les Mis , JC Superstar or Annie and charging the same price for tickets, more people would come. Similar to what Neville said, if people actually stopped complaining and bought tickets, performers would be able to be paid more.
