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???

Holding the venue responsible for the product

I would draw your attention to the full range of productions presented at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre under its entrepreneurial banner of the Merrigong Theatre Company. [weblink:http://merrigong.com.au/].This includes Sydney Theatre Company, Australian Ballet, Oz Opera and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra with iconic Autralian performers such as Jackie Weaver, Barry Otto and Renee Geyer in the last three years alone. Professional performers such as Carl Barron, Arj Barker, David Helfgott, Slava Grigoryan and the Goodies have been presented successfully by independent producers at the venue. The venue as part of its charter is also available for hire by local community groups and has acted as a venue for hire for a host of productions of widely differing styles and quality from Eisteddfods to full scale musicals. I think the rashness of the statement "if its at the ipac stay away from it" indicates a particlularly narrow and uninformed view of the nature and function of regional performing arts centres in Australia today.
