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.

Price a bit high...

The problem lies with overcharging for a play which isn't well known to an audience outside the diehard theatre goer circle... The wider audience don't want to spend too much money on a play which they have never heard of, unless it has a big name attached to it. Not because it might be talentless, but because they are unsure of the content. Unfortantely the "Yellow Glass" reputation wasn't enough to get the audiences in on this one. Either lower the prices...(face it Perth is defenitely in tight ass mode at the moment)...or sellout and get the big names in again...
