CANBERRA Academy of Dramatic Art’s Diploma of Musical Theatre students are taking to the tiny stage at Teatro Vivaldi to perform “Secrets Every Smart Traveller Should Know” as their major work for 2013.
The off-Broadway style revue is made up of songs and sketches by Douglas Bernstein, Francesca Blumenthal, Michael Brown, Barry Creyton, Lesley Davison, Addy Fieger, Stan Freeman, Dave Frishberg, Murray Grand, Glen Kelly, Jay Leonhart, Denis Markell and Nick Santa Maria, all revolving around the theme of travel by boat, plane, train, bus —or whatever.
It’s been based on the best-selling book by Wendy Perrin, “Secrets Every Smart Traveller Should Know”, which offers cautionary travel tales and grapples with the dangers of automated flight reservation systems, customs officials, lost luggage and bumping into old lovers while on holiday with new ones.
This singing-and-dancing hit musical should prove the ideal showcase for CADA graduands.
“Secrets Every Smart Traveller Should Know”, Teatro Vivaldi Restaurant, ANU Arts Centre, November 21. Bookings to 6257 2718.
