Gina Riley is great 🎉
I wish I could have seen this production. It's a roll call of whose who in Melbourne in the early 90s.
Such a time capsule.

My recollection is that the songs on the associated tour of the RHPS were not faithful to this soundtrack.
😍😍😍
Wow. Terrible. Why would Janet be singing Magenta's parts?? I heard the audio for this before, but this makes it seem like an even worse production.
I think this was made specifically for the advert, not from live performance. But you know your RHPS well sir.
True.Terrible lacks any heart; over produced; no true menace. horrid- Live show much better and this was not the true casting of parts
Horrible, I like covers but I hate it when people try to "improve" a classic and make it worse. Just IMHO!
