Last week we attended the student musical, City of Angels. It was a spectacular performance that turned out to be fairly professional. This was a surprise given their lack of funding and little time to really prepare as the show was the first week back from school holidays. The singing was great, the dancing was great, and the music (a 17 or 18 piece band made up almost entirely of Ormond students) was fantastic.
The only downside (in my opinion-this is kersti), was that it was totally, totally, over the top. Sex, sexiness and inappropriate innuendo's were the feature... As we attended "Master's Night", the audience was made up entirely of College administration, tutors like us and academic fellows. We weren't the audience that was going to laugh hilariously at such things! (Plus, it's a bit awkward - the girls are just barely 18 years old!!!) I, for example, sat next to the College's resident MINISTER... so it was a wee bit awkward when women were prancing around in bustiers, thigh high lace stockings in high heels and tiny, tiny bottoms... and when they actually had a sex scene! It was a bit too much for me! And all the women in the play had these similar roles... very sexist and terrible!
Anyway, the music was good :)
