rock around the clock
Sat, 2 July 2005, 11:37 pmSo...
Rock Around the Clock begins this week... What have people heard about this play so far???
From what i have heard, word on the street is that it is not going to be good...
Yet the play is almost booked out??? Does this make sense?
I think it makes sense... Everyone wants to go to Marloo Theatre to see for themselves just how bad a musical can be...
What have other people heard about Marloo's production of "Rock Around the Clock"???

Re: rock around & judge for yourself!
Sun, 3 July 2005, 05:24 pmWell, here's a timely advertisement for get in quick, while seats are still available... I suppose a good scandal can provoke extra ticket sales, however The Starter's theory, despite being a generous plug for the show, seems a little premature, considering that no one has had a chance to see the production as yet.
Yes, I am affiliated with the theatre & this production - however!
The Darlington Theatre Players have been around for a long time (50 years this season & 20 years at Marloo), so they do have a loyal following. Add to this the fact that Rock Around the Clock is quite a big production, with a sizeable cast, all of whom have friends & family who enjoy supporting local theatre. Given the limited size of the theatre (it seats 100 bums) & the fact that this show is locally written & based on a very popular era for music and dance, I'm not surprised that seats are selling as quickly as they are.
I don't expect the author's intention in writing Rock Around the Clock was that it be deemed to be "Great Art". It is intended as entertainment - a light, lively play with music - plus great dance numbers as well. Marloo is earning a reputation as an excellent venue for young people to learn about all types of theatre & have a go - and this our an opportunity to support the next generation of performers & see the potential that is out there.
If you would like to come & make up your own mind, please ring Gwyne on 9255 1783 to see what seats are left - I'm sure you'll have an entertaining evening & leave with a smile on your dial.
