Why hello everybody! The University Dramatic Society (UDS) of the University of Western Australia (UWA) is putting on its third musical spectacular! 'Greenwicks! Fresh From Mother Natures Teat" is the third M&M production musical, set during a single day in the life of your local Greenwicks grocery store! It starts as a normal everyday routine in the Greenwicks store until the letter arrives. Suddenly the store is thrown into chaos as the Checkout Girls are sexually harassed by their sleaze-bag manager Kevin, the love of Jude Lamonds' life Amy starts seeing his best friend Malachi, and the store is being undermined by a thief! And if they don't manage to catch the thief by the end of days trading, then the head of Greenwicks himself - Mr. Greenwicks - will personally visit and close down the store! Mischief, surprise, love, revenge, sexual harassment, and more musical numbers than you can shake a stick at are all set during a single day in Greenwicks! Fresh From Mother Natures Teat! The UDS is proud to put on its third musical after winning numerous Finley awards in 2008 for its production of 'Bullet Betty Vareska: The Directive of Six'! The show won Best Musical Director (John McPherson), Best Choreographer (Jess Dunn), Best Breakthrough Performance (Michael Abercromby), and won Third Best Musical for 2008! Everybody in the production is looking forward to putting on another (hopefully!!!) award-winning show! The show runs from Thursday 23rd April - Saturday 2nd May. Show starts at 7:30pm at the Dolphin Theatre, UWA Tickets are $14 for everyday commoners, $11 for UWA guild members, and $9 for UDS members (Otherwise known as 'UDS winners'). Tickets can be bought from the UWA Oak Lawn 12-2 everyday, or online at www.bocsticketing.com.au, or call BOCS on 9484 1133 Checkout http://www.myspace.com/greenwicks to listen to the music, written by locals John McPherson and James Marzec. In fact, the entire show was written by local and put on by local talent, so come support the crew! See you opening night! John McPherson.

Those of you who were fortunate enough to witness the phenomenon of "Bullets Betty Vareska - The Directive of Six" may have a fair idea of the genius of "M&M Productions" and the wealth of pure talent that encompasses their musicals.

Following hot on the heels of the 2008 multi-Finley Award winning "Bullets Betty", "Greenwicks" is their third creation and is definitely their most brilliant work to date. (Just between us...The buzz in certain circles is that James Marzec and John McPherson are the West Australian answer to Rodgers and Hammerstein, perhaps even the next Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber! Interest in this "Dynamic Duo" has obviously been piqued on a professional level, with production company executives being spotted in the audience.)

This production has everything that the theatre populace of Perth has been begging for. It's new, it's locally written,it's vibrant, it is excellently Directed, skillfully Choreographed, brilliantly scripted, the vocalists are superb and you will not believe how many MALE dancers there are in the cast!

I met up with a few friends at the Dolphin last night who have performed both in Amateur and Professional musical theatre and I can honestly say that we were all absolutely blown away by the show.

Theatre goers of Perth, don't make the same mistake you did last year. Don't let the students be the only ones who get to see this amazing work.

Book now and book quick before those of us that are going back for seconds grab all the seats!
