TREAT URSELF-SEE DUSTY!

Big group of melbournites went to see Dusty last night (friends and family show-we were the first audience) and it was fantastic! A few technical hiccups and they had to stop the show for a few minutes but it didnt matter at all. Few sound issues but no doubt that will be fixed by opening! (there is a week of previews as well). Wow! Tamsin Carrol was phenomenal, her voice is amazing and her grace and modesty on stage is supurb. She is so much like Dusty Springfield its unbelievable. Wonderful voice, beautiful actress, stunning presence. Alexis Fishman as young Dusty was also fantastic and her voice is sounding better than ever (waapa mt grad 2004). She sounds amazing! Tamsin and Alexis blend so well as the mix of young and old dusty (voices too). Fantastic direction, great choreography, wonderful ensemble, all supporting cast are fabulous! Peg and Rodney (Mitchel Butell and Kaye Tuckerman) amazing support for Dusty, theyre both hilarious and have fantastic voices! (i have to say rodney steals the show a bit though!!)

I know im going on but PLEASE see it if you can, finally a musical with truth and depth, great writing, an amazing cast people who sing AND dance well and of course THE MUSIC. Fianlly a show that will get Australia's music theatre industry back on track!!! A MUST SEE!!!!!!!!
