"Aspects of Love", the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that critics have rated better than "Cats" and "Phantom of the Opera" is on at the Playhouse this week from Wed 31st July (the preview - a fundraiser for Anglicare) to Sat 3rd August.

See "What's on" for further details.

This is the first time that Aspects has been performed in WA and the feedback from rehearsals is that it is going to be FANTASTIC.

Tickets from BOCS or on 9442 1584 (limited tickets).

Well, I have skipped through all the trivia on this show and just couldn't resist putting in my thoughts.

The show was a little disappointing but having been on stage only once in my 55 years, I have a lot of time for anyone prepared to put in the blood, sweat and tears to put a production together. I have been going to the theatre (preferably musicals but now opera as well) for a long time and I go purely for enjoyment and entertainment. Not to analyse. I honestly think that ALW lost it with this one but nevertheless my daughter and I still enjoyed the show and had a lot to talk about on our way home.

Perhaps all of you who critique through this page should consider the fact that a lot of people just go along for enjoyment. Not to analyse. Perhaps you are all a little too close to the action to be able to just enjoy or perhaps you all just want to show "what you know". Well, that's not what I think a performance is all about. If the actors have done their best, if the set is well done, and if the orchestra don't drown out the singing, then what more can I ask for. I didn't pay megabucks to see this show and I felt I got good return for my money.

Good luck to all performers who are prepared to get out there and give it a go.
