I returned last Friday to the Crete Street Theatre in Beenleigh to see the classic Cole Porter musical Anything Goes. If you’re not familiar with the musical you’ll soon recognise plenty of its songs that have seeped into the popular consciousness.
I was blown away by the enthusiasm and effort that had gone into staging the production but this would have been all for nothing if the sense of fun wasn’t there. It was. You can read more of my thoughts here http://scenestr.com.au/arts/anything-goes-brisbane-review-crete-street-theatre-20171114
Back in April, I enjoyed the Beenleigh Theatre Group’s production of the play Cosi and look forward to seeing more of their work in the future.
Produced by Eyeball Media Enterprises Scenestr. is an online national magazine with local offices around Australia. With over twenty years of publishing history they’ve excelled at moving into the digital realm but they remain at heart from the streets. They still publish magazines in print for Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane every month. If you’re into music they’re a great read but they do cover all of the arts including festivals, stand-up comics, fashion, theatre and film. It is the last two where I’ve been fortunate enough to do some coverage of which I’m very grateful.

Looks like a very good production, Lloyd. I love Cole Porter’s songs, and this musical contains some classics indeed.
Best wishes, Pete.
One after the other Pete. 🙂 Best wishes Pete.
Love Cole Porter and this is a great musical. Sounds like a good production!
It was excelled given what they had to work with. Really pushed themselves and still retained an atmosphere of fun and playfulness. I am very lucky. How’s things with you?
Oh, very very busy. I would like to pay more attention to my blog and devote more articles, etc. Right now I have a family visiting and I can’t get to the computer. Thanks for asking!
Are you good?
I’m great Cindy, hope to catch up on some posts shortly. Keeping busy. 🙂 Hope to speak soon.
Will be stopping by your site shortly.
I am so happy you went to this particular play, Lloyd. So glad the cast was “into” their characters with enthusiasm! Cole Porter was one of the Best, excellent with music. 🎶
There are 4 songs I absolutely adore from this musical. Cole Porter certainly was extraordinary. Thanks for reading mate.
Looks like a lot of fun
Thanks Alex, it was quite a bit.
