From saint to sinner
All Saints actor Jolene Anderson is hanging up her nurse’s outfit and taking on a more Sex and the City-like character in the new production of Tell Me On A Sunday.
The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black masterpiece charts the course of a recently single girl arriving in New York in search of success, companionship and love.
Director Peter Ross said the GLBT community will feel as if they know this girl -” she’s your sister, your daughter, your friend.
It’s a fascinating fly-on-the-wall observation of a year in the life of a girl who longs to be loved. Through her experience with relationships and dealing with another country she learns a lot about life and who she is, he said.
I don’t want to enter into whether it will be better than the original, but it will be different. I think its contemporary feel will make this more of a production that you are drawn into rather than watching as a classic piece though.
The modern musical theatre production was updated a few years ago to give a more contemporary feel to the orchestrations and to the character. The show’s modern-day set evokes current architecture with the feel of steel and polished concrete.
Tell Me on a Sunday opens at the Glen Street Theatre on Tuesday 5 August and will continue on to the Seymour Centre from Tuesday 19 August.
info: Tickets for the Glen Street production start at $37. Bookings on 9975 1455 or www.glenstreet.com.au. For more details on the Seymour Centre show head to www.seymourcentre.com.au
