Something Wicked this way comes.

And not only something Wicked… also something Les Miserables… and something Chicago… not to mention something Jekyll and Hyde.

“Seussical was a tremendous bunch of fun and was really popular with people of all ages,” he said.

The theme of the show, Villains and Vixens, pays tribute to some of the less heroic characters in musical theatre, but that doesn’t limit the songs or the production to two dimensional, black and white characterisation, Mr Gordon said.

“The concept for the show came from producer Kerrie Jiear and co-director Sarah Trama,” he said.

“There’s also a bunch of good guys as well, and the show is a bit of a musical conversation about what lies beneath the broad concepts of good and evil.”

The revue will feature songs from many well known musicals, with two Masters of Ceremonies introducing the songs and introducing the various themes. The Old Marian Chapel will add to the dramatic nature of the production. 

“It’s a wonderful old building. Sarah Trama gained permission from the owners to use it for the performance, and it just opened up so many ideas and opportunities,” Mr Gordon said. 

 “There are multiple entrance and exit points, a wooden spiral stair case and incredible acoustics. The building helps provide some of the drama and tension for our performances, so we won’t be getting in its way by adding any sets. It sounds quite minimal, but I think audiences will be blown away.”
