Last Thursday we followed our granddaughter's suggestion and visited a nearby theatre to watch The Guardian of the Star - a production of The Melbourne GangShow - CLICK.
The theatre - The Besen Centre - CLICK - promised the best quality, artists delivered :)
Artists...
After entering the theatre foyer we realised that we are in the midst of Australian Scouts. Most of people around, young and old, were wearing either a scout scarf or some other scout insignia.
Before the show... I had to admit that I was bit worried... Melbourne Gang - I felt a promise of a very loud, aggressive music, sloppy behaviour, maybe some vulgarity, although presence of Scouts neutralised the last objection.
Title - The Guardian of the Star - promised some obscure legend.
The show started and our hearts and objections melted.
Pleasant music, great singing - both - choral and solo and wonderful choreography. Quite frequently we watch ballet performances and here, there was no dance but perfect coordination of many people on the stage.
In the background - impressive decorations.
Our rating 10 out of 10!
We just wondered that this performance was not advertised outside the close knit Scouts Community - great loss for many Melbournians.
Now we will keep our eyes and ears wide open.
The final scene of the performance - HERE - warning - sometimes preceded by a short ad.
