INTO THE WOODS, WA
Fri, 6 June 2008, 05:04 pmyellow 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.

Sun, 15 June 2008, 11:35 pmI must apologise but I can't get my thoughts into gear as to a review on Into the Woods, but must drift off into my own woods very soon.
I am hoping that I am seeing a little gleam of actors getting paid. It's no mean feat to see muso's exit WAAPA and enter the local industry, carving a trade if you will. And producing some better than part time muso bands that many people go to see and enjoy.
I had heard of the YGT crew getting paid, went to see their show (Noticed that a few of them had other similtaneous shows) and thought it passed a much better than average standard. (I do know ITW very well.) It got me to thinking that the paid work for actors is particularly limited so full credit for YGT & the actors involved for creating a market & keeping at it.
Perhaps in answer to some of the above questions there is a clear difference to community people having a go & actors working their craft. ITW for the most part employed actors. (I pray that's not too harsh a comment for any involved)
My motto stands...
... dance lightly my friend, but carry a big stick...
