OLIIVER @ IPAC
Sun, 14 May 2006, 10:22 amHow do you ruin a classic well known musical? Give the rights to The Occracy!
OK.
Well, as you were warned before, Aaron & David are BACK with a new musical...OLIVER! Yes. There was nudity (well, almost)
Yes. These was a mentally deficiant person in it (acting as one). Yes, it was shite! There were 3 things that were good in the show
1) Kate Walsh as Nancy
2) Interval
3) THE END
Seriously don't waste your money...I'd would of rather poked my eyes with the knife the little kid was playing with on stage that see that crap again!
The other good thing was dodger in the bath....he was young (17-18) but it took away from the appauling piece of theatre I was witnessing!!!!
Anyone else have any thoughts???
these people dont know what theyre talking about

I heard about this little group of people on this site and here you all are having a bitch session just like you are rumoured to be. Wowzers
Weird how some of you criticise the show for having a bath in it which the script has by the way - I know, I've done the show myself a couple of times in Ballarat - and its in the movie if you'd cared to watch. Even weirder - I heard that at the same time you criticise it, one of you sent a text messages to people saying how much you liked the bath scene. I thought it was hilarious - dodger thinking he;s all king tut, with his riches and enjoying a fine bath, surrounded by his grog! funny funny dickens. I saw the show like the walter plunge dude (is that a fake name? he writes a lot on this site) and like Matthew (due is that you man?) and I knew someone in the cast who absolutely loved working on it all with The 'Ocracy (theyve gone back for more on Superstar). I loved watching it. It was moody and dark. I liked that Aaron gave Kate (Nancy - sorry I forget her last name) a strong end not just killed her off, but give her the last word which is different daring yes, trying for something new, the movie - no. But I didn't go to see a movie - if I wanted that I would have went and watched the Arcos put up some dated camp shit on like they always do. Wake up you moaners! And if steen is the same guy who staged Macbeth and romeo and Juliet at IPAC with countless nude partial/full scenes that did nothing but turn stomachs well talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Wish you'd all just get along instead of being so nasty. Nothing wrong with not liking something, that happens. But venom doesn't suit community theatre and it aint how you write a critique.
