illuminating science

No science today, just a small bit of ego stoking I’m currently in a musical, a production of Anything Goes, produced by Queensland Musical Theatre. It’s a hliarious comedy, featuring songs of Cole Porter (if you’ve heard of him!) I play Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, a rather naive British lord with a fascination for all things American, but with a “dark and savage” secret (or, at least, he thinks it’s rather dark! )

We opened last week, and it’s been very successful so far. Best of all, the editor of the Arts and Entertainment section of the Sunday Mail, Brett Debritz, wrote a brief but positive review of it. In particular, he loved our leading lady, Hannah Macklin, who’s just fantastic - she’s got an incredible voice - and *sheepish grin* :

…the surprise package of the night being Joel Gilmore as Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. His treatment of Gypsy in Me was, on its own, worth the hike to Cannon Hill and back.

Woohoo! Who could ever say bad things about critics?!

So I’m a very happy man at the moment - life is good in so many ways!
