Desert Song

On Saturday night I went with Grant, Ricardo and Jimmy T to see the musical, Desert Song, in Warrandyte. They were going to see it because one of the people they work with at Channel 31 was in it. I was going because one of their other friends had bought a ticket and then pulled out, leaving a spare ticket.
We didn't really know the way to Warrandyte. Grant pointed out that the Bible suggests sticking to the straight and narrow road. However, the Gospel According to Mel was more helpful in this case.
The musical is set in Morocco, during the French occupation. It was pretty good for an ameteur production, but I was a bit disppointed, because I've seen some pretty good ameteur productions. Most of the actors weren't to convincing, and didn't ahve very good vocals, but a the few decent members of the cast really made up for it. I was kind of bothered by the Romanticised portrayal of colonial life, though.
