Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat
Sun, 1 May 2005, 04:48 pmDoes anyone have any details about the production of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat which will be at the Regal Theatre in June (Perth)?

Hello Julie
There have been a few good reviews and most of the negative reviews do not put the whole cast down.
I did a bit of research on WACPA on this site after I heard the radio adverts, because that is one of this sites great assets and found out that WACPA has regularly put on musicals, is based in Morley and is a private school.
My assumption was that they would do an in house production as much as possible to give their students their 15 minutes of fame and it sounds as though they were well supported technically as is the Regal's reputation as the Regal provides good tech support for amateur groups to ensure programme continuity. Direction is the domain of the show.
Without open auditions, it is hard to guarantee the quality of some amateur production that we have seen at the Regal so it is buyer beware.
Perhaps WACPA needs to put "preview" nights at discount prices to get the positive reviews they need for good ticket sales for future shows.
For those people that want to se WAAPA shows, go to http://www.waapa.ecu.edu.au/events.php to see what shows are coming up. WAAPA have changed their production schedules to allow the public to see their shows so it is easier to get tickets. You can get tickets to Crazy For You for $31 BUT and there is always BUTS, the academy theatre is not the Regal so there are less seats, no flying which limits set design and there is no guarantee that every show will be fantastic but going on last years Witches Of Eastwick you should get value for money. I bought my tickets weeks ago.
It's a question of relativity.
