What do you go to see?
Thu, 22 Feb 2001, 10:55 pmHi all,
I would like to open a topic up for discussion.
*What do you go to see at the theatre, what do you avoid and why?
*Do you only like certain types of theatre?
*Do you only go to see what your own club puts on?
*Do you limit yourself to a certain amount of shows each year?
*Do you only go to see shows that you have heard of?
*Do you only go to see a show if you know someone in it?
*Do you only see shows at certain venues?
Tell me everything you think and please be honest. (I am/have been guilty of some of the above so I am not out to judge).
You see, I am currently involved with a fantastic musical that has never before been performed in Perth, many of the handful of people who have seen it so far have raved and yet our bookings are absolutely dismal. I thought that this might happen to some degree because of PIAF but it's worse than I thought. I have heard that other amateur clubs shows are selling out before they open so I am keen to find out why our show is not doing well at the box office. Does the majority REALLY prefer another production of "The Sound of Music" to something new?
Please let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Gill

As stated I will see things that interest me, that I know someone is in or something different. The problem that I have, is being involved in quite a few shows over a year I will miss a lot because I am involved in a show that is on at the same time as other shows.
I have a tendisy to stay away from musicals, but that is just me.
Another thing that will make think twice about seeing a show is if the tickets are through a ticketing outlet (BOCS). I will then look really hard at a show and see if it is really worth the hassel and extra cost.
But I will travel to see a show, as long as I don't have to drive for 1hour and sit through a 4 hour show then drive another hour home.
Also I need to have publicity material easily on hand so I can see it and be fully aware where and when the show is on. Sometimes
I need to be falling over it.
Hope this helps.

P.S. please people more nudity, male/female i don't care as long as someone gets there gear off. AND IT IS IN CONTEXT OF THE SHOW.
