How 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???

they must be stopped

to start with realy guys did you expect anything better from this company. i am saddend to think performers out there may be turned off theatre compleatly by the experience of working with the Ocracy, and even more distressed that audiences who do not see much theatre are judging theatre in the Illawarra by this standard, remember we gave the world Anthony Warlow, Richard Tognetti and Scott Radburn, not to mention many other talented performers. the only saving grace is that these shows are at the ipac and not the smaller venues, the message is clear if its at the ipac stay away from it and spend your theatre dollar at an independant community venue, at least your money is going to people who give a dam about more than stroking each others ego and showing off their latent homo-erotic fantasies. the dodger in the bath, i cant think of any reason for it except to see the dodgers todger. for gods sake someone stop them before its to late for us all.
