Tessa Dunstan is playing opposite Andrew Palmer. She was the lead in that show a couple of years ago, A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to The Forum. Great voice.

Great voice? I don't think so...an amazingly great voice!! Wow what a set of pipes!

Went to rehearsal yesterday with orchestra with the full cast for the first time. The show looks amazing. The choreography is stunning.

And as I said, Tessa is fantastic. And I don't impress easily.

Some more info on Launceston Players production of Eurobeat (from their website)

EUROBEAT ( Almost Eurovision)
Written by Craig Christie & Andrew Patterson

Director Jeff Hockley,
Musical Director Petrina Jahnz.

IT’S A MUSICAL BANQUET, A GLAMOURFEST
IT’S ENTERTAINMENT AT ITS COMEDY BEST
Eurobeat features 12 countries going head to head, battling it out through song and dance to win the coveted Eurobeat Award in this over-the-top stage musical tribute to the Eurovision Song Contest.

20 top performers seriously whip the audience into a frenzy for over 90 minutes with 12 stunning original songs, exciting backing vocals, solid gold-styled hard bodied dance and an abundance of sex appeal, executed by the competing countries of Italy, Germany, Iceland, United Kingdom, Estonia, Greece, Russia, Hungary, Ireland, France, Lichtenstein and Sweden.

ABOUT EUROBEAT
“Welcome to overcast but occasionally sunny Sarajevo, host city of Eurobeat! The audience will please watch or ogle at our gorgeous performers whose only desire is to win your vote…solid-gold-styled-hard-bodied dancing and sex appeal that says to the audience give generously.”

“Of course let’s not forget that Eurovision art form – the REVEAL! It takes a lot of talent and many more sequins to look so, well, Eurovision.”

ABOUT THE AUDIENCE
“You will please take your seat and wave your country’s flag very often, ogle or watch gorgeous boys and girls singing fabulous songs.”

“Laugh at hosts. And most importantly of all vote for favourite before interval……Audience participation at its riveting best!!!!”

“Have a drink, stretch legs, come back taller and watch superb half-time entertainment and see who wins! Boo or cheer as you see fit. Scream if you want, no-one will care.”

Others have said..
...Irresistible silly lampoon of a universe beyond parody...irresistibly silly and funny, clever too...some extra (pause) ordinary performances. Huge fun. THE AUSTRALIAN

Destined to become this year's major Australian cult musical, Eurobeat dazzles with kitschy brilliance and beguiles with its spoofy, all-embracing multicultural humor.” VARIETY U.S.
