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.

Went last night to ITW and it was great. I think it is appropriately priced in the current market. The standard of the singing and acting was great. It was as professional as you are going to get. Venue is great and i would rather pay an extra $15 a ticket to go to a decent venue than to watch a show in some local hall with average acoustics and lighting and staging. At the end of the day if you are going to assemble a talented cast, they need to perform in a decent venue .. They deserve to get paid for what they are doing, because they are good at it and have invested a lot of time into putting it together. I dont know what the issue is with people getting paid if they are good at what they do and the production is at this standard. (yes i do have an issue with paying $60 for average amateur theatre in big theatres, even if it is a fundraiser!!!) I will continue to support YGTC and their productions as I think they form an excellent middle ground between the top end productions that cost $70 - 100 a ticket and the local amateur theatre at $20 a ticket. I am not related/connected/married to/divorced from anyone in the show. Just your average musical theatre enthusiast! Well done everyone involved! Cosi Fan Tutti
