It completely slipped my mind that I hadn't reported my most recent theatrical adventure. I went to a matinee with my mother (which seems apt) and we were both dazzled by the Melbourne cast. It was the kind of show that as soon as you walk out you want to see it again, and even weeks later I feel the same way. Obviously many of the production values came straight from here but the local cast gave it a certain cred that really worked. Reg Livermore, Tom Burlinson, Tony Sheldon and Grant Piro performed brilliantly as did Bert Newton and Chloe Dallimore. I had seen the movie as a child but I recently hired the video and saw the mastery of Mel Brooks as if for the first time. It is definitely worth another look to see Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder as Bialystock and Bloom. Read about it here
