Re: auditions for Copacabana NSW
Hi There. The theatre Company I am involved with over here in Adelaide did Copacabana last year and we won several awards for it, including best musical...it is a really lively show, as I'm sure you know, and is a lot of work too! But very speccy when it all comes together! I was the Assistant Director and the Set Design and Scenic artist for our production and made the star sign headresses for the Sweet Heaven number too........lots of work in all those things but worth it when you see it on stage. Copa is such a demanding show in so many differnet ways but the audience and the performers will love it! All the best and break a leg!
