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???

The IPAC is a great venue.

You're right Greg,

I have seen and continue to see many fantastic productions at the IPAC, especially under the Merrigong Theatre Company label. The talent and quality it attracts allows local people to have a glimpse of what is happening and just some of the amazing acts who are out there. It makes sense what you say about people hiring the venue, it really is not your business what they put on your stages. It's just slightly worrying that people will have seen oliver and thought that that was all this diverse, talented city has to offer.

I guess it's just frustrating for people to see something in such a great space and think to themselves that they could have done a better job. I'm just hoping that The Ocracy can redeem themself with Jesus Christ Superstar, because otherwise what is billed as "The major musical production of Spring 2006" will render the rest of them a total joke. After all, if a high school standard show is all the local talent that Wollongong has to offer, why bother seeing any more?

Please please please deliver next time Aaron.
