Forbidden Broadway Again

So I was asked to post about Forbidden Broadway. Until I get the still captures from the footage I took i will instead post the article from the Southland Times about it.

"The musicals Chicago, Cats and Mammia Mia are all targets of satire in the Invercargill Musical Theatre's latest show.


Forbidden Broadway, which begins tomorrow night, is a comedy spoof of some of the world's best loved musicals.

The show features spoof songs from musicals such as Phantom of the Opera to Annie.

Director Craig Waddell said Forbidden Broadway is the Australasian premiere of the show, which has been on Broadway since the 1980s.

"It's a bit of a piss-take at musicals really ... People will certainly recognise the music, but the lyrics will be different," he said.

The show stars eight of the theatre's more experienced singers, he said.

Held at Repertory House, it was designed to be a smaller, more intimate show than the previous production of Cats.

"We just wanted to try something different." The show will run from tomorrow night until September 13, although there is no performance on Sunday.

Tickets are $25 and available from the Invercargill City Council booking office."

Weekend

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday,

Today I celebrate two significant events: Fathers Day, and Mine and Brett's 6 months together. I am writing this post from the Multimedia Lab at SIT. It turns out I can multi-task because Im writing this post and also working on my script. Well I was the good son this afternoon cos I rang home and wished dad a happy fathers day. This is going to be a real short post today. My mind appears to be having a seizure right now and I can't think of anything intellectual to write without resorting to ranting - which i wont do.

Forbidden Broadway

Tonight is the Australasian Premiere of the Musical "Forbidden Broadway". The reason I am posting this is because my friend Jaz has a lead role and got Brett and I tickets to the Sponsors Gala. The show is a spoof of other musicals such as Rent, Mamma Mia, Fiddler on the Roof etc. I will be taking photos to post on the blog because Flash Photography is encouraged.

I will post my thoughts on the show tomorrow.

I've been keeping up with reading the family blogs which is quite interesting.

Grandma,
Im glad the HTML trick worked for your counter and it's good to see that the Kereru is back in the trees.

Mum,
You now know the Technological Age is nothing to be feared

Dad,
Did you create that wiki that is linked on your Blog? If so, you really need to change the colour scheme

Only a short post today as I got most of it out last week. Will post again in a few days
