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

Mon, 5 Mar 2001, 01:02 pmPersonally I thought the advertisement for Romeo & Juliet to be a very good advertising, but by no means did I expect that it would have nudity in it. To me, the picture represents romantic love, which can be a beautiful thing (and sometimes not so beautiful, especially one the truncheons come out). I would've thought that with all these educated adults out there, that if they were going to cogitate deeply on the meaning of the nudity in the photo, that they would come up with some theory involving the naked soul, raw passion, or somesuch. I certainly didn't expect the reaction which seems to have been "Look! BOOBIES!".
I found R&J to be an enjoyable night out, and was even vaguely impressed that the ever so easy to slot in "consumation scene" (a la the Baz Luhrmann film) was not chucked in for the sake of having the actors maul each other. I thought the show showed a good sense of humour and irony. Carried off well by the cast.
Oh, and I agree with Amanda, I thought she was a babe too ;-)
