Fiddler!

Fiddler had major problems. Clever set - badly performed scene changes, the crew did the best they could, but it was still clunky and bloody dangerous too. No rapport or chemistry between Golde and Tevye (the performers disliked each other intensely) Girls with crappy fake beards due to lack of men. Some mens costumes with modern shoes with no attempt to at least modify them. So many people on stage in some scenes they were pushing past each other. Wrong venue for the show, full stop. Shows are judged on the whole show WHICH INCLUDES PRODUCTION VALUES not just performances. If you can't get enough stage hands, or find clever ways to streamline changes, DO ANOTHER SHOW! Overall Old Mill's standard was not up to scratch this year, lets hope they lift their game in 2011, then they might start getting more nominations. Because they might actually deserve them.
