Tuesday night I visited NIDA for the first time. The theatre / university is so close to home and there’s almost a performance nightly and yet never been. Note to self: research more plays and go more often.
Press play while reading – it’s a montage of the entire play in 4 minutes, to the wonderful (for me very familiar) music of Orff, us Aussies may know the music from ‘this is a big ad’ (wait for 25seconds – really worth it)
It was a fun little musical comedy featuring some of my most favourite operatic pieces. Originally produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Overview:
I was looking at the costumes and thinking how much better the bellhop uniform looked on the real bellhop and thinking about the amount of time I was on the floor of my girlfriends apartment helping put together the jester costumes. They looked awesome!
It closes soon. So much fun!

It was a fun little musical comedy featuring some of my most favourite operatic pieces. Originally produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Overview:
Chicago, 1934 - The Cleveland Grand Opera is celebrating its biggest night in history: world famous tenor Tito Merelli, known to his fans as 'Il Stupendo', is scheduled to sing the lead in Othello. Through a hysterical series of mishaps, Tito is given a double dose of tranquilisers and promptly drops dead… or so it seems. Believing that Tito has died, the company's assistant, a fairly gifted amateur named Max, is secretly drafted into the role of Othello, donning the blackface and heavy costume to try to fool the audience into thinking he is Tito.
Soon, however, the real Tito wakes up and chaos ensues. Now TWO Othellos are running around in costume and two adoring female fans are running after them in lingerie, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. Add in a volatile Italian wife and a fan-crazed bellhop and you have an hilarious farce that will have you laughing all night!

I went to see a wonderful stage production the other night too. The acting was first class, the costumes amusing, as were how quick the two performers changed from character to character.
yes it was lovely, enlightening, and a feast for the senses.
I highly recommend Little Britain! :P
