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.

Hello All, I don't care if people are paid, unpaid or any other nonsense thats been written on this thread, because having seen approximately 20 plus musicals performed in Perth in the last 2 years (Including Rent!) I would have to say it was one of the best shows I have seen. Was it flawless?...No! But it wasn't far from it in my opinion, some of the established community theatre's directors and musical directors would have done well to have seen this show as a yardstick for how a well cast, well performed, well conceived and well directed show should be done. This is my humble opinion folks, I am not going to be so crass as to mention shows or clubs, but I saw a lot of musicals in the last two years that were well below par of what a paying audience should expect, even at a community theatre level of up to twenty five dollars per adult ticket. Forty five dollars a ticket, from my standpoint was well worth it! I refuse to respond to the same old gutless anonymous posters that slag off all and sundry, the tall poppy syndrome is obviously alive and well in Perth. Congratulations to Chris, Simon and the Cast and Crew of Yellow Glass Theatre for providing two and half hours of high class entertainment. Cheers Robert.
