Does anyone have any details about the production of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat which will be at the Regal Theatre in June (Perth)?

I agree with you Don. The regal is a good place to do such show. Comparing The WA College of Arts to What the "Academy" is doing is like comparing a state of the art(s) 2005 edition Lexus with a
Leyland P-76. One is of a far great value and quality to the (arts) community. the other is a private school with a questionable reputation. I mean whose ever heard of these guys until now? They say they've been around for some years but who are they? At least you know that with the WA Academy of Performing Arts you get quality tuition. I'm sure they do at WA College of Arts but who are they? Shows like this are designed to show case the education that these students are supposed to be getting. They are supposed to be trained to put on a quality performance. This didn't happen but it came close. I suspect that this production was done more to put the name of the people running the college on the map rather than give the students an oppotunity to perform in public. They could have easily hired a smaller theatre and made a bigger profit. But I think peoples egos are getting in the way. Theatre is cruel sometimes!
