Shane Warne The Musical 2013

Overview

A musical about cricket? It does raise some interesting questions, but when Eddie Perfect scored and directed the entire thing, as well as staring in it, you have to stop and consider. Shane Warne the Musical can be described as a witty, satirical homage of sorts. Originally performed in 2008, the latest addition has been reworked to incorporate some of the intrigues that have happened to Shane Warne since then.

The new show also comes with a new cast. Eddie Perfect (most recently known for Offspring) is joined by Lisa McCune, Shane Jacobson, Christie Whelan-Brown and Verity Hunt-Ballard. The production side of things is in the capable hands of former MTC artistic director Simon Phillips, known for Love Never Dies, Pricilla Queen of the Desert and Songs For Nobodies, and there will be a 24-piece orchestra on hand led by Iain Grandage to round off the experience.

Sounds 'perfect', right? (Too much?)
