Oh oh which one to go to? There's so much going on on the 10th - two Christmas parties and two performances! Does pretending to tap while bored at work qualify me for Stepping Out?

What a great site!

I hope this is not too off topic - esp. for a newbie - but wondering if I could plug a Tassie theatre performance that isn't musical?

Please delete if I transgress.

No problems, Stuart. Yeah, this is a musical theatre forum, but we're not totally oblivious that there may be other worthwhile art forms

Hope it's a great success!

What a busy couple of months it has been. Little Shop was lots of fun, even though I got told off for wrestling Ashton in the breaks ;D ;D ;D
Thank you Tash for the wonderful comments.

Dance Fit concert is on Sunday, 10th December at the Princess Theatre starting at 2pm, tickets $5 adult and $2 children
Not your normal dance school, children learn with no pressure, so the concert is like watching a lesson on stage, interesting, different......but lots of FUN!!!!!
Patrick O'Halloran and Ashton Maher will also be singing at the event

Weird.

I noticed that late yesterday as well.

I might to travel to Hobart for Cats. I must admit, I only saw it for the first time a bit over a year ago (the DVD version, not on stage). Up til then, I didn't think I'd like it at all, but I was pleasantly surprised.

They're calling for auditions early if it's an October show.

I don't think PTB will be around for much longer. Judy Davies has been burning bridges with everyone she comes into contact with because they don't live up to her insanely high standards. She seems determined to work against the system rather than with it, then wonders why she encounters resistance. The list of her supporters is growing shorter and shorter and it won't be long before she can't find anyone willing to work with her at all.

Nothappyjan, I have to agree.

I was considering moving to Hobart for unversity and I was like OMG YAY CATS. I really actually dislike the production, even taking into consideration it's based on poems, I find the songs wishy washy and the production not very clever or entertaining at all. However, it's Cats, and I think being able to dance in a production of that scale would be very rewarding.

However I'm not sure if I doing Uni here or there now ... sooo ... To cats or not to cats.
