STRICTLY BALLROOM DANCING

Rehearsals are now underway for the much-anticipated reimagined production of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic film-turned-musical Strictly Ballroom. Ballroom Dance Champion and long-term cast member of the internationally acclaimed Burn The Floor, Perth’s Kallyanne Brown, is working hard to turn this talented cast of musical theatre performers into credible Ballroom dancers. If day one of rehearsals is any indication audiences will be impressed by the talent and just how hard the dancers have worked to evoke the style and elegance inherent with Ballroom dancing. This production is produced and directed by Drew Anthony Creative (DAC) who in 2022, at The Royale Theatre at Planet Royale, created a new niche in the Perth theatre landscape. DAC sold 10,559 tickets, engaged 101 artists in paid positions, achieved a direct economic impact of $1,217,431, gained an audience satisfaction rating of 98% and scored an NPS (net promoter score) of 84. (data provided by Culture Counts) Tickets are selling fast for Strictly Ballroom the Musical which will play 28 performances throughout June. With a stellar cast of Perth-based performers and an entirely Perth creative team this much-anticipated production promises to ‘burn the floor’, dazzle, entertain Perth’s musical theatre audiences.

Music Hall is a form of British theatrical entertainment which was in its heyday between 1850 and 1960. It is a particular form of variety entertainment involving a mixture of popular song, comedy and specialty acts. British Music Hall was similar to American Vaudeville, featuring rousing songs and comic acts.

107

107 is back; bigger, better, and brattier. Premiering to critical acclaim and standing ovations at Summer Nights 2022, 107 is a fun and fierce homegrown musical celebrating the resilience of our youth. Four girls meet on a hot, summer morning, killing time and testing boundaries as they wait for the school bus. Writer and composer Michele Gould describes the show as “flipping stereotypes on their heads, whilst also flipping them off. A fever dream of my private school memories, wild friends, and the experience of growing up queer.”

Lets have a chat with Michele Gould the writer of the play and find out what she has to say about her amazing musical.

Good day Michele and welcome to the Perth Art & Entertainment website.

Lets start at the very beginning. Give us a brief idea of your journey in the world of Drama

I started my journey actually pursuing science. I finished a Biomedical degree before auditioning for WAAPA and am so grateful to have studied at both incredible institutions, but the arts is my dream. 

You are the writer of this peppy musical entitled “ 107’” What inspired you to write about your experiences growing up queer.

A passion of mine is being the change you want to see in the world; I wanted representation for the stories that I wish I’d had growing up.

I have read a quick synopsis of the musical. Is there anything of importance that I may have left out that you may like to add.

We have more than just punk! I am incredibly proud of this sound track and am very excited for the few surprises we have for the audiences, old and new.

Your media release talks about this musical celebrating the resilience of youth. What exactly are you saying on this topic.

This musical to me is about survival. It’s about going through the toughest of times, with your best friends by your side, and claiming the bravery it took to get through it all.

Obviously the musical was performed for Summernights 2022. You say that the current production is bigger and  better. What sort of changes have you made to the original script.

Our script has had a few edits, but in terms of length it’s almost the same! I’ve added more detail to some of the characters, but we’ve extended the show mostly through music. I think the story just became a lot more clear for me as I had more time to sit with the work.

The musical basically talks about 4 girls who test boundaries while they are waiting for their school bus. What sort of activities do they indulge in to test their boundaries.

I think in a way each character brings out a new shade of each other, in the way that your friends in real life do. Some people will bring out the best, and some the worst, and it’s all about figuring out who you want to be.

One of your reviewers has said that the musical is exhilarating and masterful being likened to the Breakfast club meets Spring awakening. What exactly did they mean by this.

I think this musical feels nostalgic, even though it’s completely new, because it’s a homage to these experiences and the coming-of-age stories that we all consumed growing up. I was inspired by these works, and they were very formative in my creative journey, so it’s such a compliment that something I made reminds people of these works.

They also described it as cinematic and poignant Do you have beautiful visuals that enhance the experience.

I think our lighting design by Katrina Johnston is absolutely breathtaking. It really heightens the experience and creates a magical atmosphere for the audience. It feels like we get transported to this world and just get to see what happens.

What are your sets like

I’m a minimalist at heart and I absolutely love working with our director Daley Rangi as they are also a Beckett-inspired creative. Our set both times has really just consisted of the bus stop bench, but it’s because we wholeheartedly believe in the depth of the text and music, and the talent of the cast to bring the work to life.

Do you have any lighting special effects?

I would say everything about the design makes for a special effect, but again we’ve gone minimal. I think it’s very fun to see what you can do with less!

And ofcourse we come to the beautiful music that has been highly appreciated by all who have seen the show. Give us an inkling of what types of songs we could expect to hear. 

Punk, punk-pop, pop-rock, a bit of jazz, a bit of indie… There’s so much, and it was fun trying to figure out how to combine everything so it all worked together to create one beautiful tapestry of sound. 

Who is responsible for writing the words to the songs.

The lyrics and composition are my own, but I worked with a brilliant vocal director Vanitha Hart to arrange and teach the harmonies for the songs and she turned the bare-bones that I had into incredible full musical numbers. I’ve also worked with a producer Luke Minness and it’s been really fun learning from him and seeing the depth he’s added to these tracks to really make them pop.

And finally in a nutshell tell us a little about your 4 very talented performers. 

I honestly couldn’t do it in a nutshell; I love them so much and the individuality and talent that they bring to these characters make me so endlessly grateful and excited to see them again in this space.

Before I say good bye is there anything I may not have mentioned that you would like to talk about.

Just that I’d love to mention our incredible stage manager Ari Rahim, who couldn’t be part of the summer night’s season but we’re thrilled to be working with now. They’ve just fit right into the whole cosy dynamic of the team and have been incredibly helpful when we had to do rehearsals over Zoom!

Thank you so much Michelle for talking to us on The Perth Art and entertainment website. I wish you all the best and look forward to speaking to you soon about another great show. Good bye

SO there you have it listeners  the fourth wall media has described this show as “Dynamic and energetic, the performers sparking and fizzing…a musical for those who are not willing to give up their voice or have not spoken up yet…hands down one of the best new soundtracks around.” With review like this do you think you can afford to miss this brilliant musical that talks about a very important section of our society.

Like the residents of Bikini Bottom, the cast and crew of this production of The SpongeBob Musical fought hard to save the show when it was facing total annihilation due to lack of funding. Thanks to many wonderful, kind sponsors they managed to raise enough money to keep the show afloat.

CHICAGO

Chicago at the Planet Royale  Theatre is a sublime musical complete with everything you would hope for from this classic: scandal, sensuality, and a whole lot of murder. Telling the story of Roxie Hart, a young dancer who kills her ex-lover and finds herself swept up in the whirlwind of the press surrounded by other murderous women, this production of Chicago has earned its place as one of the best shows.

 It is the second longest  running ‘ show in Broadway history’, Chicago, is a remarkable performance of vice and sin. Set in early 20th century Chicago, the musical, which is an adaptation of the play by Maurine Watkins, harks back to years of the Jazz Age.

We follow the story of Roxie Hart who, after murdering her lover, finds herself in the Cook County Jail. Here we are introduced to the likes of Velma Kelly and Mama Morton as we watch the characters in their pursuit of fame and acts of deceit. However the pair seem more concerned with their fickle fame and public image than their life and death situation. Neither character has any sense of morality as they navigate their way through the media madness – desperately clutching on to every ounce of attention they can garner.

Briefs Dirty Laundry

BRIEFS BOYS TO TAKE OVER GIRLS SCHOOL Briefs are heading back to Perth with a very special presentation outside the regular FRINGE WORLD Festival season for the first time in ten years!

 This time, they’ve got a hills hoist in tow and they’re ready to air all of their dirty laundry in their brand-new show, Briefs Dirty Laundry. This WA Premiere will take over Girls School from 11 – 22 August 2021.

With more glitter stains and ballsy attitude than ever before, your favourite Briefs misfits give you a night of intoxifying physicality, unapologetic truths and gob-smacking comedy. Turn your cycle to HOT as you watch these boys tumble dry.

 Led by Briefs Creative Director, Fez Fa’anana (aka Shivanana), Briefs Dirty Laundry features a line-up of lads you know and love (Mark ‘Captain Kidd’ Winmill, Thomas Worrell and WA’s own Louis Biggs) as well as some shiny new toys and boys (Brett Rosengreen, Dylan Rodriguez and Luke Hubbard).

 Don’t miss out on this chance to see the ridiculous showmanship of the Briefs boys who were disappointed to cancel their Perth appearance earlier this year at FRINGE WORLD 2021 due to a COVID-19 breakout in Queensland.

 Fa’anana explains: “Dirty Laundry is an opportunity to creatively, metaphorically and candidly get some sh*t off our chest, to ‘air our dirty laundry’. A space for the audience to free themselves with the fabric of our relationships and overindulge with the floral maskings of a softener. These interesting and unpredictable times may give us the spin cycle that we need to speak truths and let muddy waters drain. A chance to super-soak and stain-remove the blemishes that can spoil the load. We launder our collective thoughts and our Y-fronts, we rinse off the residue, spin dry some sense into ourselves and throw caution to the hills hoist.”

Briefs Dirty Laundry is a co-production between Briefs Factory International, ARTRAGE and Cluster Arts. “There’s no chance for a boring winter when the Briefs boys are in town. This is a ridiculously entertaining show and it’s one of the many new things that ARTRAGE has on the cards for Perth. It’s part of our plan to find more ways to entertain the people of Perth when we’re not all busy Fringe-ing” said ARTRAGE CEO Sharon Burgess.

MIMMA:A Musical of War and Friendship to have World Premiere

at The Regal Theatre, Subiaco

The Regal Theatre Subiaco will be the host to the West Australian production of the new musical, Mimma: A musical of war and friendship, from Orana Productions, with the season running from April 9 -21, 2019.

The original musical is the result of several years of collaboration between WA based author Dr Giles Watson and composer, Ron Siemignowski.   Incorporating completely new musical numbers, including a blend of Jazz, Opera and Musical Theatre, ‘Mimma’ is a musical that bridge contents and cultures.

Producer and Composer Ron Siemignowski said: “We are very excited to see ‘Mimma’ come to life.  What started with small dreams and ambition has turned into an incredible production with an amazing cast & crew, both local and international talent investing time into creating something that we can all be proud of”.

The Story…

The shadow of Fascism spreads across Italy as Mimma, a young journalist from Turin, takes refuge at her Uncle Lorenzo’s nightclub in Soho, London.  As another World War becomes inevitable, Mimma forges an unassailable friendship with Sarah, an aspiring jazz singer, while her family are increasingly embroiled in resistance against Mussolini.  The coming conflict brings out the best and worst in people as Mimma’s brother is captured, Londoners prepare for Hitler’s Blitz, and fears of betrayal reach fever pitch.  Even refugees and firm opponents of the dictators are classified as “Enemy Aliens”.  Mimma and Sarah are caught in the turmoil as Soho is torn apart by arrests and internments.  England and Italy are facing their darkest hours, and Mimma is in danger of losing everything.  Everything – that is, except the one friend she can trust.

The Cast…

Casting the lead role of Mimma was a relatively easy task, when Australian Soprano, Mirusia Louwerse read the Libretta via her agent.  Mirusia immediately jumped on board and is very excited to be part of the production: “This incredible new musical features such beautiful and exciting music, I fell in love with the melodies when I first heard them. The storyline and the script is something so different and fresh, yet it is based on true events during the Second World War in Italy and England. I am honoured and proud to be creating the role of Mimma and giving life and a voice to an incredible character.”

Mirusia has spent 10 years performing as the Star Soprano of André Rieu and is one of the most celebrated voices in the world.  She has performed in front of country leaders, royalty and sung live to many millions of fans across every continent.  Mirusia is celebrated for the vocal clarity, dexterity and exquisite tone she brings to the world stage.

Directed by Adam Mitchell, previously with Black Swan Theatre Company, Mimma also stars world renowned Baritone, Jason Barry-Smith in the lead male role of Aldo, with WAAPA graduate & accomplished musical theatre actress, Holly Meegan playing Sarah.

They are joined by Canadian Opera star Suzanne Kompass, WA based Igor Sas and Ian Toyne in the main cast. Mimma’s ensemble cast are all proudly West Australian performers whilst the production will feature original music performed by The Perth Symphony Orchestra under Musical Director Sean O’Boyle.

Patience

Love, jealousy, and utter foolery
Dolphin Theatre, UWA
September 6 – 15, 2018

You can’t hurry love

Fashion, pretension, celebrity culture and the pursuit of love are the targets for the wicked wit of WS Gilbert and musical brilliance of Arthur Sullivan in their timeless musical comedy, Patience, opening at the Dolphin Theatre on September 6, 2018.

Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious satire on the “art for art’s sake” movement, epitomised by Oscar Wilde and his followers, is a timeless take on the crazes, fads and fashions that have the power to enslave us all to this day.

First produced in 1881, Patience sees the finest and manliest specimens of Her Majesty’s Dragoon Guards go into a state of shock when they realise that the hearts of the most eligible young ladies about town are being stolen by a pair of “beauty loving” poetry-worshipping dandies.

Mayhem breaks out as they attempt to win their intended brides back to their side by any means possible. Even going as far as devising and declaiming poetry themselves and shedding their spiffing uniforms for something more … erm … exquisite?

Presented by The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of WA, Patienceis directed by acclaimed G&S exponent, Alan Needham (HMS Pinafore 2017, Trial By Jury, Cox & Box 2015), who has appeared in all 14 of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic operas. He is joined by musical directors, Michael Brett (Iolanthe 2016, HMS Pinafore 2017, The Gondoliers 2018) and Georg Corall making his directorial debut with the Society.

Needham said Patience is one of the funniest shows in the G&S comic repertoire and that its nineteenth century setting belies its contemporary relevance.

“It is an eternal delight to see Gilbert gleefully pop the balloons of pretension and pomposity whether it be from fake poets overly fond of reciting their own verses or manly posturing,” he said. “Patience is a rollicking romp through the follies of fashion and the foibles of the heart that will have you in stitches and chuckling long after you leave the theatre. And maybe even striking a few poses and reciting a few verses of your own!”

The Society is thrilled to welcome back Ross Bryant as the poet Bunthorne (The Gondoliers 2016), David Cosgrove (HMS Pinafore 2017, The Gondoliers 2018) as Major Murgatroyd, Belinda Cox (Iolanthe2016, HMS Pinafore 2017, The Gondoliers 2018), as Lady Jane, and Grace Feltoe (HMS Pinafore 2017, The Gondoliers 2018) as Patience with a superb cast of Society singers and a live orchestra.

Tickets are extremely limited for the nine performance season. Don’t miss out. Bookings can be made 24/7 on www.ticketsWA.com (no online booking charges) or on 6488 2440 between noon and 4 pm Monday to Friday.

Founded in 1951, The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Western Australia has produced over 50 productions of Gilbert & Sullivan’s extraordinary contribution to the musical theatre. Founded by Bernard Manning, the Society is supported by The Gilbert & Sullivan / AN Bullock Trust created in 1983 through the bequest of the late Arnold Bullock. Distinguished entertainer, Max Kay became the Patron of the Society after the late Sir Charles Court. Over seven decades, the Society has brought laughter and joy through the comedy and melody of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan to generations of Western Australians.

Gutenberg! The Musical!  

MUSICAL SINGS ITS WAY BACK TO SUBIACO

After a critically acclaimed season in 2016, Gutenberg! The Musical is bringing back the laughs, this time to the Subiaco Arts Centre in June.

The knee slappingly funny, musical-spoof about two ambitious writers, Bud and Doug, and their first (cross your fingers) Broadway smash, is showing as part of the Subiaco Theatre Festival from the 27th of June.

Taking the form of a “backers’ audition”, Bud and Doug introduce their new project – a big, splashy musical about Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. With relentless enthusiasm and misguided optimism, they sing all the songs and play all the parts in their historical epic, hoping one of the producers in attendance will give them a shot at Broadway stardom.

Featuring Andrew Baker and Fringe World favourite Tyler Jacob Jones, the show had audiences and critics raving and gasping for breath in its original season.

“Gutenberg is really like nothing you’ve ever seen before – but you’ll want to see it again,” says Baker. “We’ve already had people buy tickets who saw it last time”.The madcap musical comedy written by New Yorkers Anthony King and Scott Brown, ran Off-Broadway and has been seen by audiences around the world. Its appeal reaches to lovers of musicals and comedy fans.

The Subiaco Theatre Festival runs through June at the Subiaco Arts Centre, and features a showcase of exciting and innovative performances from independent WA artists and producers.

THE EDGE

CATFACE PRODUCTIONS BRINGS A MULTI-AWARD WINNING MALAYSIAN MUSICAL THE EDGE TO AUSTRALIAN AUDIENCES FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME

29 MAY – 16 JUNE 2018, THE BLUE ROOM THEATRE

Jarod. Lilly. Deanna. Michael. Ryan. April.

Six people who know Josh, an aspiring artist and a troubled young man. When Josh declares that he wishes to end his life, these six are forced to re-examine their relationships: with him, with one another, and with themselves.

The Edgeis a dynamic new musical, originally staged in Malaysia and coming to Perth for the first time. A production that peers over the edge of the human condition and leaps into the complicated nature of relationships, it asks questions about affect, responsibility – and ultimately, forgiveness.

“a powerful play with characters that speak directly to audiences” – New Straits Times, Malaysia

“The Edge is very unique in how it doesn’t depict the act, and is not interested in shock value or shouting in an audience’s face. It is firmly about those left behind, grappling with questions of if they could have done more and wondering if they were in some way responsible. We question the past, replaying it in our minds, looking for ways we could have done things differently; and it is all too futile. Even on a macro-level, with the general despair and insecurity around the environment, economy, and political spheres, shows like The Edge are needed now more than ever; while the content may be heavy, the hope contained within is so important and vital to so many people. That is why I want to make this show.”

– Levon J Polinelli |Director &Producer

“It is my hope that The Edge’s upcoming season at The Blue Room Theatrewill serve as yet another vehicle through which conversation on mental health issues can happen in Perth; and that other people who undergo self-doubt, self-esteem issues and self-loathing – all trademarks of depression – will see themselves reflected in the characters, to give them some small comfort in the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggles.” – Nick Choo |Writer


Director and Producer: Levon J Polinelli / Book, Music and Lyrics: Nick Choo / Featuring: Claudia Van Zeller, Emerson Brophy, Grace Johnson, Madeleine Shaw, Philip Lynch, Tate Bennett / Musical Director: Harry Oliff / Designer: Sara Chirichilli / Stage Manager: Thomas Dimmick

ONCE WE LIVED HERE

Music by Dean Bryant, Lyrics by Mathew Frank

An exciting Australian musical will receive its WA premiere at The Blue Room Theatre in October.

Blue room1Once We Lived Here centres around Amy (Taryn Ryan), who runs her family’s sheep station ‘Emoh Ruo’, in rural Australia. She’s held onto the property through drought, bushfire, and falling wool prices, determined not to let it slip out of the family grasp. Over a scorching long weekend, the family gathers, and Amy has to face up to the myths and lies the place has been built upon.blueroom2

Written by the critically acclaimed team of Dean Bryant & Mathew Frank (themselves WAAPA graduates from the 1990s), this full-length musical is an authentically Australian story, with a uniquely Australian sound. The debut season in Melbourne received a Green Room Award for Best New Musical, and was described by Geoffrey Rush as “a beautiful, poignant piece of home-grown music theatre”. The Age newspaper described it as “musical theatre full of life, emotion and renewal”

Everybody Loves Lucy

I love Lucy 1Written by Elise McCann & Richard Carroll

Directed by Helen Dallimore

Lucille Ball was the Queen of American comedy for decades. As television’s biggest star in I Love Lucy -the most popular sitcom in American history – the wacky, fearless, and totally endearing Lucy broke the mold for the way women were allowed to behave on TV.

Lucy was joined every step of the way by her real-life and on-screen husband Desi Arnaz. I love Lucy4Together they defied conventions and expectations, and ensured total control by creating their own studio. Lucy and Desi held up a fun-house mirror to every marriage in America – exaggerating and making amusing every idiosyncrasy of married life. But as Lucy’s popularity thrived, her relationship with Desi suffered both professionally and privately.

Generations of fans love Lucy Ricardo for her impulsive, foolhardy and child-like charm – but the produI love lucy3cer of I Love Lucy once said “Lucille Ball is about as different from Lucy Ricardo as anyone could possibly be.” She was a dedicated professional whose seemingly effortless comedy was a result of rigorous attention to detail and fanatical rehearsing.

I love Lucy 2Everybody Loves Lucy stars Jayde Westaby, an acclaimed musical theatre performer, originally from the UK, whose West End credits include Grease, West Side Story, Jersey Boys and Chicago. And Steven Kreamer as Desi Arnaz, most recently been Associate Musical Director on Little Shop of Horrors (Tinderbox/Luckiest) and Rent (Highway Run).

Brimming with Lucille Ball’s irrepressible spirit Everybody Loves Lucy is a tribute to a true trail-blazer. This cabaret-style show is a a treat for audiences young and old.

 The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of WA
will be presenting this double bill at the Subiaco Art Centre from 14 – 17th October 2015.trial by Jury

Trial by Jury was the second collaboration of Sullivan with WS Gilbert. Edwin promised to marry Angelina then left her in the lurch. In a breach of promise suit the learned judge sings one of the most famous of the G&S patter songs which includes the line “she may very well pass for forty three in the dusk with the light behind her”! Like all G&S it has a hilarious and happy ending.
Cox and Box was written by FC Burnand with music by the then young Arthur Sullivan. Mr Cox works during the day (and is home at night) and Mr Box works at night (and is consequently home during the day). The unscrupulous landlord has rented the same room to both of them and thus collects double rent! This works well until the day they come home at the same time -then the fun really starts!
