GIRL BAND @ RIVERSIDE THEATRES PARRAMATTA

 

 

GIRL BAND – In 1994 yet another females only GIRL BAND (The Sensation Girls) has been formed by the powerhouse record label management team of Craig and Darren. Otherwise known as handsy and casting couch plus Mister ED. Their creation of a feisty GIRL GROUP where all can sing and all can dance, but they must not be musicians and must not be song lyric composers.

Their management team does not want musicians/composers, they ONLY want the look and the sound. All the familiar character tropes are explored, with a superb script and perfect performances from each actor in each role, all with interesting and engaging backstories. All must stick precisely to the management team rules, and never ever question the management team.

It is the year 1994 and these singers divulge their intimate knowledge of that music industry paradigm, and explored with both irony and satire. All the underling messages, do provide an entertaining night of live theatre. This is the era when most women still travel in pairs, and women usually choose to not challenge the status quo of the patriarchal society. Highly Recommended.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
