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.

Into the Woods

In response to Walter La Minge the author of the rather aggressive reply to my post. I was intending on going to see “Into the Woods” as it is a fantastic musical and I have a few friends involved. I didn’t think my post was insulting to Yellowglass, I was just offering an opinion as to why a wider audience may not attend a production such as “Into the Woods”. Which in actual fact is a pitty, because Yellowglass produce great shows and “ITW” is an awesome musical. Unfortunately, I have instead brought tickets to see Wanneroo’s “Hot Mikado” on the night which I was going to attend “ITW”. Not because it’s cheaper, but because I really don’t feel like supporting a production which have rude people such as Walter La Minge involved. I know “Hot Mikado” will be a great show and the people up there won’t be rude. Go and waste your money on some amateur crap at the Regal if you think you're getting your moneys worth. Those companies are not even in the same league as yellowglass, but you support them then. No wonder Perths theatre scene is regarded as a joke. Hmmm…Are you saying that all show’s at the Regal are crap…well you obviously weren’t involved in Yellowglass’s last production at the Regal…or you’re saying it was crap? What companies are you saying which are crap, who I support? And I’m unsure as to why you think the Perth theatre scene is regarded as a joke? We all started somewhere, and I’m sure your local community theatre which you started with and made you the actor or crew member or lighting dude or whatever you are today, would love to hear you bagging them out. Walter La Minge I do feel I have an understanding of the Perth theatre scene, as I do go and see as many productions as I can (sometimes up to 3 a week in a busy month). I love theatre and love supporting it… I’m sorry if you took my post the wrong way but it’s only my opinion, and sometimes you can learn from others opinions if you are willing to listen 
