On Monday night on Australian’s ABC there is going to be a documentary on The Dalton Sisters<\/a>. These girls go to theatre….A LOT!!!!! They are actually great friends with my supervisor at work. And I’ve met them – when S. and I went and saw the premiere of Fellowship of the Ring in Sydney (and paid $200 for the privelige) they had won free passes and came too.<\/p>\n

clearly the theatre people dont understand the nature of obsession. my Notre Dame and Aida obsessions are no longer front runners – but if 1) they put productions on in Australia, 2) I had enough money to go to almost every performance – i would do it!!! I have seen Notre Dame live once and watched my dvd many times. its awesome. and i have seen a norti vid of a taped performance that a fan did of Aida – bad quality and all – it was wonderful!
\nand you could compare their theatre going to you or me sitting down and watching a favourite video or dvd hundreds of times till you know all the lines and can quote it backwards etc etc – the only difference is you pay for a video or dvd once and then you dont have to pay again (unless it breaks and you buy a new one) – where as they pay every time. its also comparable to paying to see every show your favourite band\/musician does in your city.
\nand the theatre people should show some gratitude – its enthusiasm from people like the Dalton sisters that keeps our sad excuse for the australian musical theatre scene going.<\/p>\n
