Alan Jones.

Musical Theatre is a funny place and when far right leaning Liberal bias 2GB shock jock (what rhymes with shock jock - MASSIVE COCK) Alan Jones gets cast in a musical (a second musical) life is a little weird.

Alan Jones is one of Sydney's most loved/hated radio announcers. He is largely loved by people who love to hate and hated by those who believe in fair and balanced broadcasting. On a few sites their has been much distaste to his casting in Anything Goes.

Renamed on Musical Theatre BLOG Anything Blows this could be the case. Jones is loathed in many circles and Opera Australia isolated gay fans this year by hiring and then firing a homophobe. But time will tell Alan Jones does have the power on the Upper North Shore, like Joe Hockey & others who live there they are rich enough to drive and own "cars". Possibly even rich and white enough to pay for the price of parking and a glass of cask wine at the House.

Now why I am writing this? Well I again feel that after working with actors and people who call the arts home it is extremely sad to see someone not short of a buck stealing an older actors dream role and run of dates in multiple cities.

It's not easy for actors (particularly in Australia) you either need to make it big Alan Jones style via being a powerful white man or work your ass off and have real talent Hugh Jackman style. Alan Jones has neither talent nor class, he provokes hatred and wants a frightening and conservative Australia much like our vile PM.

I hope people give this one a miss when it hits the stage in 2015, the creative Australians need a break and casting mates of high powered industry folk is helping no one, particularly other struggling musical theatre wannabes.

Reality TV and Australian names like Jones will mean more talented Australians head abroad and I wish they would take me with them.
