MOULIN BLUES!!!!!!

(*sigh*. . . how entertaining to read all of the above )

Anyway, anyway, that's not what I wanted to say. What I wanted to say was-- I saw Moulin Blues and I loved it!

I loved all the twists and local references in the script, the band were really tight, the singing was "all that" and more, the Moulin Rouge staging and costuming especially was like-- wheesh!, and for a "one night stand" I thought it went pretty un-hicuppy. And of course, these guys played all my favourite songs (though c'mon-- why cut "Sweet Home Chicago" off before the solos? Man!), and though the guy next to me was an absolute prude, I really had a lot of fun.

I also managed to convince some friends to come along (who hated Moulin Rouge and hadn't seen the Blues Brothers movies before) on the grounds that it would be "heaps fun", and they really enjoyed it! (ESPECIALLY the Rouge bit! How do you like that?!) A testiment (sp?) to the work and effort of everyone involved.

PYT and IA shows are always fun though, aren't they? I'm kicking myself for not going to see Fame, but I saw the other two B.B shows and I was completely wow!-ed by them. The first one at the Playhouse was the best, and I don't think I'm being biased. It was everything I love about the Blues-- It was fun, and so cool, everyone was really into it and enjoying themselves (none of this arguing crap), and of course a lot of great music. Perth's not such a bad little town for talent :) ...and you know, if any of the cast was unhappy with anything, they did an awfully good job of pretending to be having a great time.

So congratulations to everyone who was part of this, you made my night! Let's keep the good music playing, people :)
