On Friday night we headed to see James and The Giant Peach courtesy of a link a lovely reader sent to me so we had reduced rate tickets.
We LOVE plays and theatre and going to QPAC and jump at any opportunity to do so.
The Harvest Rain productions are always cosy and intimate and quite often geared towards kids.
Honestly if I had paid full price I wouldn't have been that impressed - just over on an hour in total.- BUT
The girls loved it - and Richard laughed along the whole time. It had a touch of pantomine and the simple set design was very cleverly done. It helped that we had watched the Tim Burton version of the movie the night before too as this is not one of my favourite Ronald Dahl stories by a long shot.
We managed to get to Brissie well within time and had coffee (or tea for me ) and a treat before. The tunnels to the carpark were filled with some glorious chalk art too - I was disappointed I hadn't taken my camera when I say it all.
If you are a local I have noticed on the QPAC site that there are lots of great shows on offer this year.
Alice in Wonderland complete with the option of a Tea party is coming - and the Wizard of Oz - these ones we may be able to fit in our budget I think but its Mary Poppins and Annie which have me stumped.
I would love to take the girls to both those big budget musicals - particularly Annie they have seen it so many times and read the book.
So my question to you my lovely readers do you go to theatre and do you get the cheapest seats ??? Does it detract from the show being sat at the very back - like really back at the top?
Should I just choose one show and get good seats?
I'm really not sure and Richard is no help he just keeps saying how much are the tickets? That's not happening LOL - It would be just me and the girls.
I'd love your thoughts.
