What does it take?
Sun, 8 Sept 2002, 03:52 pmWhat does it take to get "bums on seats"!! We are running a terrific show featuring an extremely talented cast. We have been featured in the Sunday Times, number 2 in the top 10 to do in Perth after the opera, on Channel 31, 3 community newspapers, even got a mention in The West on Friday and still we cant get full houses - do we have to give tickets away!!!!! Suggestions please - and yes it is posted on this website.

Hey Rhoda,
At the moment, the company I am involved in are doing one of the rarer G&S Operettas (Princess Ida). Most of the people we get are through the cast... you just have to get everyone to sell and promote the show as much as possible in any way they can. According to publicity people I've spoken to, mail-outs haven't worked very well and we've done radio ads on a couple of different stations and in newspapers such as MX.
So I guess with a smaller cast, that's a lot harder. What show is it just out of interest?
