Is it worth to travel from Brisbane AU to NYC just to see Cursed Child Jun 21
2018, 06:21:13 AM
I'm arguing with myself here. I lived for 25 wonderful years in Melbourne, loving the season changes[and the clothes that brought] the abundant theatre life, the architecture, the trams, the bogs, everything.
Now I live in Brisbane and this wonderful city on the river is emerging from a quiet country style city to a thriving metropolis that has now just announced another major theatre is to be built---what's NOT to like; and when the jacarandas are in full purple bloom-breathta

heeeellllllll yeah Jun 21

I have 'show girl legs' for a male so can carry off a pair of shorts reasonably well but would only wear them to a matinee with a slim tailored long sleeve shirt.
Casual slacks/jeans and a light jacket or blazer for evening performances always, and an open necked shirt.
Fcvk the weather, I want to look/feel good.

Sightlines at The Princess Theatre Melbourne are very good but there are posts supporting the dress circle--one either side I think in the back stalls.
The seats on the other hand are THE WORST. Flip down to sit, stand and they flip back and anything you have on your seat falls to the floor. Absolutely NO leg room, you MUST stand to let a person pass; no delicate knees to one side.
An absolute fortune is being spent on the stage but nothing on the auditorium.

I think Kylie is in there somewhere as well. Someone else might have mention this later on but couldn't be bothered reading through to find out---I stopped here.

Yes, but then he'd have to go to Melbourne..."
You said that because..? Melbourne being the cultural 'centre' of Australia, IMHO.

Straight men playing gay men Jun 9
2018, 11:36:55 PM
God, I must have won the Gay trifecta--gay face, gay voice and dance like a gay. What's the prize?
73 years of absolute joyous living.
PS..I was supposed to SMOKE in a play and be serious [be serious!] and actually TALK with the thing hanging off my lip ! Smoke in my eyes, up my nose, spluttering, not pretty, and certainly NOT butch though I tried. But you should have seen the way I put that cigarette out--applause every performance.

Well that was hideous---one to miss---country and western with the usual twist[and lyrics].
Judging a whole movie by it's trailer? Yes.

Too many to remember, AND am a pensioner--definitely NOT a trust fund baby.
Try to hang on till interval though, just to be polite, but always have an end seat, in case.

Inappropriate audience laughter May 19
2018, 04:35:21 AM
I took a lady friend to a very well know modern ballet company touring Australia--the curtain went up, dancers appeared,and danced---no music.
I turned to my friend and said, 'I think I have just gone deaf'.
We were like 2 giggling school girls and just couldn't stop, even when the music started and I said 'it's come back'.
Truely, we had to leave and to this day, 20 years later, if I ever uttter those words we start giggling again.

Marilyn!- the Musical in Las Vegas May 16

Personally, I HATE all those Marilyn songs, they are just so dated and always done the same way.
The LESS one knows about icons is best. Let this person RIP and go watch her movies.

Mister Matt---how could you possibly compile and have all that information at your fingertips?
I say that in awe of your devotion and love to all things theatre.
Thank you for helping me remember a lot of those forgotten shows and times long ago.

Jim Parsons tripped onstage today May 14
2018, 02:05:52 AM
My 2 bits worth. This is a play with 8 actors[don't know,guessing] and the understudies are not part of the onstage cast.
When either reading around a table, rehearsing in a room or finally in the theatre, why aren't the understudies not always included?
Surely as they are professionals[there's that dreaded word again] they should be able, having learnt the script, be able to watch and learn the blocking from a distance.
I would think it be essential to be par

Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London Apr 28
2018, 01:36:08 PM
Dave28282 what you said was very interesting[and very well put]. I am Australian and watch a lot of DVD TV series.
Without understand[until I read your post] that there seemed to be in almost all that I watched an unproportionate number of black actors entering as new characters, and to a lesser degree, Asian.
Really hadn't given the situation much thought other than to think that the ratio of black to white was tipping the scales to the black side of casting.
