I was just wondering if anyone saw Rock Apocalypse in Padbury which has just finished I think. I really wanted to go and see it but couldn't make it and wanted to know what it was like! Can someone put a review up of it? Thanks! Am

hey guyz...as a cast member it was hard under those lights...we did the best we could in the time space that we had...im a year 11 high school student and although you may not want to listen/read what i have to say please do... I'm always told to give "constructive critisism"...reading these bullitens about 3 of them include any critisism...i was dissapointed in the show but tried my hardest to keep the energy up...im sorry none of you enjoyed it but think outside the box...think...what if you were one of the cast?...if you morons had been through what we'd been through you'd understand why the play turned out like it did... Some of the reasons people were cast as they were are as follows: Ricky-Tim- everyone else was unable to do the part because they had other commitments Ash-BJ- Why BJ was cast as ash is beyond me Tiffany-Leanne- Tim wanted to give her a chance to improve her acting skills...and thats a fair enough reason Although the only character i played was a deadhead (the one with knee-high black and white striped stockings) i could see how hard it was for the other cast members FYI: Cast memebers are allowed out the front to get drinks...we are human...we do need to drink...yes your probably thinking..."why didnt you have water bottles backstage???"...the answer...we did...some people had 2 but they were all empty by the end of act one and our cold ones just happened to be in the fridge...and guess where that was...IN THE KITCHEN!!! *sigh*...people these days are so close-minded... anyway i just wanted to say...people who say crap like "it was crap...it went for too long...the cast couldnt sing"...to all those people...UP YOURS!!!...get a life...if you didnt enjoy it...get over it...move on...its over...you dont have to go back there...you saw it once...the cast had to live through it for 3-5 effing months! but before i finish id like to say thankyou to the band...kate our music director was excellent...john the other keyboardist thankyou so much for doing that...andrea (i think it was) on the saxaphone...you were great...and the drummer and guitarist...im sorry i dont know your names but you guyz were brilliant...as a band you were absolutly FANTASTIC!!! Thankyou to the audience who came and im very sorry you didnt enjoy it ~xxAlyxx~
