UQ School of Music - Please will you do more Showcase Concerts This was appropriately priced for myself and for the standard exhibited here on Sunday I would expect to pay a lot more. It was wonderful to see young up and coming musicians.

Wonderful experience

I thought that it was really well portrayed but I felt that it was acted a little too much like the movie and the death scene was a little too long. Other than that I really enjoyed it. Great performance. :)

Heston Brilliant but too many sponsor mentions

Heston himself was great, an amazing and inspiring man. However, for the price of the tickets I wouldn’t have expected the tour promoters would have needed to bolster up the commissions of the tour by spruiking so many sponsors and thanking them during the show - cheapened the experience substantially.

Great show!! I was taking my daughter as I thought she would enjoy it but found that I was just as mesmerized. The cast was perfectly chosen and so talented!! The orchestra was perfect. We had seats very close to the stage and orchestra pit which I would highly recommend. It was a magical evening.

Daddy Warbucks and little Molly steal the show at Annie

0

2:44 PM - 12/05/2012

By Georgie McCullagh

There were some great moments in the Brisbane production of Annie but it was really held together by Anthony Warlow's star power. Todd McKenney was great but many of the other leads didn't bring the energy and passion I was expecting. In turn, it made Todd's portrayal not really fit with the others and appearing over the top. Rooster's character is traditionally big but it wasn't proportionate to this particular performance of Annie. The little girls were wonderful with the little natural red head playing Molly stealing the show with her dedication to her role and let's be frank, cuteness. She was right on cue and delivered her lines perfectly - a great performance. The little one playing Molly usually does steal the show but this little actress was particularly special. Unfortunately, I didn't believe the relationship between Annie and Daddy Warbucks in the performance I saw though. The performance was good, but I wasn't overly moved by their on stage relationship. It was still a good night out at the theatre.

Disappointing

11:09 PM - 11/05/2012

By ngaire + michael gilligan

We've been to most of the dinners since their inception. This is the first time that we have come away very disappointed with the mis-match between food and wine. This happened for several courses: the entree, main and the dessert. It was interesting that the winemaker herself made a comment that it was not a 'match' she herself would have made - in respect to the dessert wine. Together with the price rise and the new booking fee, our experience at this last dinner has meant we have had to re-consider our participation in future dinners. At $250 for the night - the change in chef has made our guarantee of enjoying the night a gamble, rather than the sure thing it was with the previous chef.

I loved this show.

This was my first Wiggles concert & I was a bit disappointed. The show seemed to end really quickly & no one was able to have photos taken with them as they didn't have time. My sister saw them last year down the coast & raved about the concert & said they were happy to stop for photos. I feel they were in a hurry to get the concert over & done with as it was their last day.

The Neverending Story

By Dawnelle Froehler

As the Neverending story is a film reliant on a great deal of special effects, I was interested to see how this group would tackle bringing it to stage. I feel that the use of characters and props were effective and the troupe used some very innovative techniques to present the story. My five year old son (who found the film to be quite frightening) enjoyed the production thoroughly and thus is now willing to give the film another try.

I have to give a thumbs up to QPAC for an all round top experience, from the ease of access to the facility, to the friendliness of staff and the comfort of the theatre. Being our first time to take our 2 year old daughter to a live concert as big as the Wiggles I was a little anxious about how it would all go, but everything went great, right down to the little things like having booster cushions available for all the kids, my little one loved it, and made the experience one to remember for life. Thanks Qpac! See you again in a couple of weeks for the Hi-5 Concert!

Wow! My 2 year old son's first live encounter with The Wiggles was AMAZING! We had aisle seats because of my long legs (and to allow for any dancing that my son wanted to do!) and none other than Jeff walked up our aisle during the show...I'm not sure who was more star-struck - me or my 2 year old! Jeff took as much time as he could to say hi to every child. Brilliant. Loved the fact that The Wiggles encouraged people to take videos and photos throughout the show. Will definitely make an effort to see them again live.

We actually left at half time. Shelling out $200 per ticket for this, a show that also has sponsors (does he need THAT MUCH money?), we were hoping for more. Heston was lack lustre and we were plain old bored. Oddly enough friends who saw the Auckland show LOVED it, and said he was fantastic. Meh.

Not impressed I expected a lot more from Heston, what we saw was either in his book or has been on his tv show, $130 + just to hear him speak was very disappointing.

It was great to see Annie live on stage. Sandy,the dog, was very well trained.I liked the President of the United States, he was very funny. The real stars of the show were Annie and Daddy Warbucks, they sang really well. I liked it at the end when the orphans came and saw the gigantic Christmas Tree and before that they never knew what Christmas was.

Fabulous!

While is wasn't a bad show, it was little dissapointing to not see any meals cooked by Heston. The show seemed a little disjointed in its execution, and the presentation was a little flat. I think my excitement at what to expect may have been higher than it should have been. Will have to go the restaurant to get that expectation met i guess.

A Nancy Hayes revival, a Jonesy introduction, Todd Kenny in a supporting role and all of them surrounded by kids and a dog? It all works very well. Don't miss Annie! With its toe-tapping tunes, good old fashioned baddies, the handsome fairy tale billionaire and his can't do without dreamboat assistant, there's something for everyone. I went in the rain and went home in inner sunshine.

We Were wondering howThe Nevering Ending Story could be shown on stage,well this is very cleverly done & executed The costumes and sound effects were brilliant. The actors were wonderful enough to have you rivited to the story the whole time. we would recommend Never Ending Story to anyone, Except it may be a bit to hard for children under 4 years old to keep focused on what is portrayed

A show to be enjoyed by all ages.The sets and performers were of the times, and showed how N.Y.C. (and the world) suffered during the great depression, but was still able to find a silver thread through the bad days. My Grandaughter asked (8yo) and i was able to give her a brief explanation of thoes years, and therefore to the story of ANNIE.

After experiencing many shows at QPAC, this was the only one I have been extremely disappointed in. I felt it was an insult to the audience that the performers were not rehearsed as this could be the only explanation that they forgot words, not just once, but on many occasions. They did not finish each number together and in some cases had a second go at finishing the number. When performing a number as a group, some missed there cues to come in, and this left them all singing out of time and basically just not caring. If they were rehearsed then this is not the usual quality of performance that QPAC aspires to showcase. If this was at a local pub, you might expect this, but not a QPAC performance. I am so disappointed with this act, that on the way home, I had decided that I would place a negative a review where I could, so thank you for the opportunity to get the disaapointment off my chest.

Annie was a really great show. The venue, lighting, wardrobe,sets,acting, sound, orchestra was excellent. We had a great afternoon and we were pleased with our seating choice. Having an intermission was good too, to grab something to eat. The children actors were really talented and could sing, dance, act, and so were the adult actors and actresses and the dog who played Sandy was very cute. It was a class act for thie show, very entertaining and a great afternoon.

In my opinion Pearl and Emma stole the show. Pearl with her pride; Emma with her sarcasm. I must admit I was expecting the punch up scene to be a bit more viscous. Bubba was so obviously over the top and Olive's sobbing at the end was not true to the play. Overall the play was a good laugh. Although, how many encore's does an ensemble need?

Anthony Warlow has a silky smooth fantastic voice for musical theatre. Enjoyed the show, great scenery and scene changes so well done. Well done Allan Jones on his debut as well. What an all rounder he is.

AMAZING!!! - I've never seen better child theatre performers than the cast of orphans in this show - they were just fantastic. Anthony Warlow was wonderful and Nancye Hayes was a brilliant Miss Hannigan - she just got better as the show went on. Loved the entire cast, and the choreography and dancing was wonderful - especially the orphans. Even better than we expected, one of the best shows we've seen :)

Went to see Annie with my two daughters (12 and 9 years). The pillows provided by the venue were excellent, to give the girls extra height. The show was fantastic.......we loved orphan Molly and of course Sandy the dog.

I took my 9 year old daughter we both loved the show. But we didnt love the people who ate in the theatre chips and ice creams. The tickets are too expensive to listen to others pigging out. It reminded me of being at the movies. The show was fab.

Very enjoyable for both adults and children. For non-ballet enthusiasts, I thought the performance was very entertaining and kept the children enthralled from beginning till the end. The dancing and costumes were fabulous.

A Must See!

I was thrilled with the idea of seeing a ballet performance of Alice in Wonderland and was happily surprised to discover that it was quirky, inventive and funny. I really felt like I had gone to Wonderland, the set was amazing and the props were used very creatively. The characters were brought to life spectacularly I especially loved the dance of the Duchess and the Cook, the football match and the Battle of the Lion and Unicorn. Everything was perfect and I was on a high for hours afterwards. It was amazing and I loved every second of it. 5 stars isn't high enough of a rating to give this performance and thank you to everyone who made it possible and there simply aren't enough words of praise to give to everyone involved.

Fabulous interpretation. Very clever such as a little Alice after she drinks the shrinking potion (won't spoil it for those who haven't had the pleasure of seeing it yet). Hilarious walrus...I laughed so much and couldn't stop so was feeling conscious I would annoy others. Caterpillar to butterfly...absolutely brilliant & beautiful.

Puccini - less than an experience

11:43 PM - 4/04/2012

By Janelle Colquhoun

As a lover of verismo opera, in particular Signor Puccini, I was less than inspired by this concert. The QSO as usual played superbly, but the singers were not so gala. There were a few last minute stand-ins due to illness, which I've been told should account for the moments of cringe-worthy singing. Call me heartless, but with so many talented singers on our own backdoor who know this repertoire, why should I listen to sub-standard singing from interstate or overseas singres? Not that all the singing was bad, with some rising talents to keep an ear on, and lovely singing despite illness, plus a few moments of surprise. I never would have guessed a singer capable of singing Despina under-whelmingly for Opera Queensland a few months earlier, could turn around and do such an impressive job of Turandot. Perhaps she's found her fach.

Ballet or Pantomime?

I have been an avid enthusiast of Francois Klaus' adaptations of ballets and, having seen QB perform "Alice" in Regional Qld about 10years ago, I was so excited to have the chance to see it again. I drove for over 7 hours to see it. Overall, I was disappointed. I didn't feel that many dancers displayed the strength that I have seen in previous performances and I was quite disappointed that Alice was played by a pre-teenage dancer, who may have plenty of previous performance experience, but as a young girl, lacks the strength and technique that I paid large sums of money to see. I guess it seemed like more of a demi-character/pantomime, aimed at an under 10's audience, rather than the ballet I anticipated. That aside, my mid-teenage daughters and I did enjoy the range of styles of music and dance in some scenes. Sets were good and costumes were fun and colourful.The show was a bit of fun, but of the seven ballets we have seen over the past decade, this was probably the weakest.

This was the first show I have been to a performance at QPAC plus the first of QLD ballet and it will not be my last. I have paid twice as much to see shows and enjoyed them half as much as Alice in Wonderland. It was fun, bright and light and the costumes were amazing. A great show for all

This was my partner's and mine first experience of ballet. Nothing against the show, it just wasn't our cup of tea. However we enjoyed the experience overall. the stage was dissapointing after my last experinece (Mary Poppins) but then, that was a hard show to top!
