Omnibus Antes the Ups
Sat, 9 Oct 1999, 05:41 amThis 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.

Re: Omnibus Antes the Ups
Mon, 11 Oct 1999, 07:48 pmThe crew members that got paid were the stage manager, assistant stage manager and also the regal crew. Why does it matter that the actors dont get paid anyway? They know that full well when they sign up to do the show. They do it because they like to perform. Even still, Omnibus has already lost a lot of money to do with the show going on, then not going on, and change of dates. So what if the tickets are too overly priced for you. I just think that you have missed out on this one, as their have been numerous commetns by people who have seen both the Melbourne and Perth production and have said that the perth produiction is much better.
I don't understand what gives you the right to judge omninbus just becasue of what they do with their financial records and how much they charge for ticketsJames Harley
