Auditions

Amanda... I told James a few minutes ago that I really cannot confirm or negate the things mentioned here about Pat Barton... I think we are probably going to have to all have our own opinions on this matter... but I was wondering if there is another way we can help the industry here in Perth to grow and become what we would like it to be... instead of boycotting My Fair Lady?

Any suggestions? Aside from the ones already mentioned...

I for one am willing to help in anyway I can, to make this theatre world of ours a better place to be...

I am happy that you were able to play the role of Mme Thenadier... especially since it was a lifelong dream of yours... you are an amazing actress and you can capture an audience with your performance... I don't doubt that we will see more of you on bigger and greater stages in the years to come... and the experience you had, playing a role MADE for you, will have made you that much stronger and better as an actress...

If Les Mis happened for that reason alone (not discounting the other great performances of the show - including the incredible talent of Marius... whomever he was on closing night)... then I am grateful to Pat Barton for allowing us to see you in this role... the opportunity may not have happened otherwise...

Hope to see you in heaps more shows Amanda...

ciao
