Synopsis: |
We are introduced to the vibrant thrumming world of the city through the offices of a waiter/MC/ringmaster type, who host us through the story. Tash and Kate are best friends and singleton thirty something's adrift in the world of singles bars and arranged dates. Tash is assertive and willful, Kate is shy and neurotic. Jack and Will are similarly best friends, thirty something's and single - Jack gleefully so, Will anxiously so. When Jack and Tash meet at a bar, it's excitement and lust at first sight - when Will and Kate meet via a dating agency, it's the rebirth of hope for two people who've given up on ever finding love. | |

Selected Quotes: |
"The wit, perception and good humour with which it handles the subject ranks
it with the best of small, off-Broadway musicals about 'relationships' ... a
varied, entertaining and high-quality score ... hip, literate and
consistently amusing ... will delight all who appreciate intelligent music
theatre" - (Jim Murphy, The Age) "A bijou musical ... stylishly directed ... Attractively local in its references and judicious in its cruelty ... elegantly presented and a reminder that sex in the city is a funny business" - (Murray Bramwell, The Australian)
"With its live band, clever, catchy score and witty, urbane lyrics, All Het Up carries the torch and bodes well for contemporary musical cabaret." - (Lily Bragge, The Age) |
