Rock Apocalypse - Perth

I saw this play on opening night... I cant think what was more painful, the maid who stripped off and coudnt sing in key or the fact that we had to sit there for 3 whole hours in the heat.. This was definately too long for amateur theatre, also bearing in mind that it seemed that the director was in there to show up the other characters and show his vocals.Unfortunately this play did not reflect the best of his vocal abilty. Life isnt all about picking rock takeoffs and strutting your stuff on stage clothed or unclothed. Its about delivering a solid script,having a good time as a team and most of all entertaining your audience. One most important thing should be mentioned.. that the lead roles of ASH and his partner were played rather well considering. They had 3 hrs of lines and music to learn and perform. In general most support characters(even if they werent or were very experienced)played thier part ok and were able to deliver thier lines and music. I feel that if this play had been shortened and directed properly then it may have been more successful. Unfortunatley most people walked away politely commenting that "at least the cast enjoyed themselves" or "It was a long production to take on, well done for hanging in there and remembering your lines and for sticking it out" Shame...
