Omnibus Antes the Ups

This is the first time I've really checked this out, but perhaps
pre-maturely, I am going to defend Omnibus productions for the cost in
tickets.First and foremost, I am a cast member, and no, actors are not paid.
Musicians, and crew are though. Please keep in mind that "The Secret
Garden" is only running for three days, putting on five shows. I dont
know if anybody here has put on a show at the Regal, but hiring the
venue for nine days is not a cheap venture.Quite frankly I think it's great to see Omnibus move on from their
productions at the Fremantle Town Hall. I have done several shows for
Omnibus, which were earlier on, and by far this is the most
proffesional show they have done. The leads are superb, and the show
has an all round strong cast. I dont believe I have seen a cast so good
since Playlovers did their production of "Chess" in 1996. Everybody
should do themselves a favour, and try and come along to see the show.
You might all get a nice surprise.Brooke Forward.
