Well Melbourne is definitely the place to go if your a musical lover! Showcasing three major musicals at present, Avenue Q, Jersey Boys & Wicked. All three are very different however all very exciting to have in the city which you will apparently love every piece of.
I managed to jam Jersey Boys and Wicked into one weekend, first review of the rank was Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. I didn’t really think I would like this one but it really surprised me and some of the talent in this show was simply amazing.
The sets were very simple however effective, the mostly geriatric crowd went sick! The oldies mobbed the boys after the show and some even had their tits signed! Much to their husbands (or were they gigolos) disgust.
Jersey was a fun, light hearted & very entertaining piece of musical theatre which people who don’t usually like this genre would enjoy this. The band were top notch and the show really has a lot of life in it and rates 3 and a half rockin’ stars.
Now to Wicked which I saw around a year ago with the dear Rob Guest (RIP), now replaced by the weakest link Bert Newton, Rob Mills was also out (thank god) and his understudy is simply divine Michael Snell who was simply delicious in Miss Saigon a little while back.
Also out was Amanda Harrison and Anthony Callea since the last time I saw it. The show has developed into a masterpiece and really is one of the best musicals I have ever seen. The show and production is simply flawless the customs, the great score and the songs is just sublime.
Wicked rates a truly wicked 4 stars!
