According to last night's

According to last night's presentations, there were over 60 productions adjudicated this year, of which about 20 were musicals. I saw one musical this year with a cast of 40, another with a cast of 5, and every conceivable number in between. I do not envy those who have the task of selecting 5 or so from this lot for nomination. Let's please remember that part of the beauty of theatre is it's subjective nature; I've been to many a show I found wonderful, only to have my friends violently disagree, and I've also walked out of awful shows to hear audience raving in the foyer! There are performances I witnessed this year that I'm surprised didn't get nominated...but I'm not going to go so far as assume that mine is the only valid opinion in Perth and say they should be nominated over anybody else. I agree with Callan...it's been a wonderful year of theatre.
