Hi all,

I saw the preview last night and just wanted to open up this and see what others thought before letting my opinion fly.

Well,

I truly believe that it was the worst show ever produced.

My problem is that it wasn't just bad for a 'proffessional' show (as it was billed), it was bad for any ameteur show.

This is the sort of show that gives amateur societies a bad name and the reason that so many amateur companies in Sydney are having trouble selling tickets.

For instance, I saw a great production of 'Seussical' at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta on Saturday 8th October at 8pm. Truly it was brilliant, yet the auditorium was only 3 quarters full. Talking to the cast later on, I heard that there were shows with only 5 or 6 rows of audience. Yet this show was absolutley brilliant.

The reason people won't come and see shows is because of CRAP like this.

I hope that the people who put on this show are shunned by everyone who loves musicals and never have the ability or resources to put on a show ever again.

Matt.
