I was lucky enough to interview director Gabriella Flowers for Scenestr Magazine where she talked about directing the musical revue I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. The show is the longest running off Broadway musical and captures relationships right from their beginnings to the poignancy of romance later on in life. Presented by the Savoyards Musical Comedy Society Inc. it is playing at the Star Theatre in Manly this month. I really enjoyed the chat with Gabriella which touched on mentors, dating apps, support and respect in the workforce and the relevance of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to popular culture.

Produced by Eyeball Media Enterprises Scenestr. is an online national magazine with local offices around Australia. Celebrating 25 years in 2018 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. This interview was published in print in the March Queensland edition of Scenestr which is always a thrill for a GenX guy like myself. A digital version of the print edition can be found here http://scenestr.com.au/read/QLD/2018/1102-QLD/scenestr-QLD-1102.html#p=53 with the interview on page 53. 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. I feel very fortunate to get to write for them.

Back to the Drawing Board Productions 
Good review, Lloyd. I like how I can enlarge the text on the page too.
I hadn’t heard of this production, I confess, but I enjoyed reading about it.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete, I’m glad you like it. I hadn’t heard of it either but I enjoyed getting a chance to speak to the director who spoke about it with such passion. It sounded really cool.
Never heard of it, Lloyd. I always enjoy learning something new from you.
Thanks Cindy, I aim to please. 🙂 How are you?
Feeling a lot better, thank you. Back to work and it feels good. I hate feeling like an invalid.
Working makes you feel like you’re back in the groove but don’t push yourself too hard.
Thanks, Lloyd. Sent it to my daughter. The whole “Female Directors” thing.
That’s cool, well let her know all 3 creative heads were women for that show. I don’t care what gender if they are if they’re good at their job but such things rarely occur it’s still worth noting.
