Perth is going Grease mad at the moment, with everyone deciding whether they have the Olivia hair, or the Travolta curl, but there is also another company in Perth doing an ambitious musical!
COMPANY has not been staged in Perth since 1986 (Perth Theatre Company) and Garrick Theatre have chosen it for their second season next year. Only people who like a bit of substance with their music need apply, as COMPANY is probably best described as an acting piece, rather than a flashy high kick musical (In fact, most Sondheim is like that really...) Anyway, check out the auditions page for details, and write down two dates...

The auditions for Grease - I would be there if I wasn't involved with Company believe me I have the Travolta curl... or had... the curl...

And then the auditions for COMPANY - two weeks later....

Variety is the spice of life is it not???

Jason's question: "Which Sondheim/s DON'T you like and why?

There isn't one I don't like but there are a couple I've never heard in full (shame on me) so I don't know if I like them but I've loved pretty much every song I've heard.

Paul's question: Favourite Sondheim song/moment?

Oooooh, too hard but I'll go for "Sunday in the Park with George" (because "there are worse things than staring at the water as you're posing for a picture after sleeping on the ferry after getting up at seven to come over to an island in the middle of a river half an hour from the city on a Sunday") and "Every Day a Little Death". I also love "Sunday" (Act One finale of SITPWG).
