Once Upon a Mattress
Mon, 22 Jan 2007, 06:43 pmGreat news!!!
FINALLY someone is doing one of my all-time favourite musicals...
Apparently Nic Carr [she who used to be Nic Oxley :-) ] is doing Mary Rodger's
"Once Upon a Mattress" at Roleystone in July.
I love this show... the only thing I hate about it is the fact that I am a baritone
and not a 'Can Belto' so I can't go for the lead, who I reckon is one of the best and funniest
roles in Musical Theatre... I mean the role was written for Carol Burnett for Gods' Sake!!!
[Belter's take note!]
Now I just hope that some good people actually audition for it so that when I finally
get to see it I won't be let down.
Especially as I believe it may actually be the WA premiere!!!
I'm sure that audition notices will be on here soon so keep your eye out!
[I think I'm going to go for the king so I don't actually have to sing anything ;-) ]
I love Mattress too!

I played the Queen years ago in Canada, but haven't seen it done here in Oz... 'bout time someone did it!
