golly gosh am I excited..my second visit to Keating! a musical about Paul Keating...it's had a wondrous run..started its life at the International Comedy Festival in Melbourne..and galloped on from there
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bhazQFBhA0 (when Mike speaks of 'the suit'...Keating wore Ermenegildo Zegna suits....seems Mike now wears really truly Zegna suits now..) ~ there's a funny song at the end..
how I hope a dvd is released..
............? the musical...who would you like to see...not necessarily a figure from politics..
hey...Karl Lagerfeld! the musical
8 hours and 45 minutes before curtain up! _________________ "I've never accepted the external appearance of things as the whole truth. The world is much more elaborate than the nerves of our eye can tell us." - James Gleeson |

Oh my, but our late great Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau would be perfect for musical drama a la les Miserables! _________________ Vivant Linguae Mortuae!! |

Tony Blair and Maggie Thatcher would make great Shakespearean style dramas. Blair the Musical would be utterly awful and yet strangely compelling... like watching a car crash.
I'd love to see Velvet Underground - The Musical! Tho' Springtime for Hitler has already been done...! _________________ Confusion comes fitted as standard. |

I sure know what I'll be doing Wednesday week!!!!
Perhaps if you have pals in Oz you might let them know of this...
I know I'll have to wait until Wednesday week...however I didn't arrive on the planet with much patience  _________________ "I've never accepted the external appearance of things as the whole truth. The world is much more elaborate than the nerves of our eye can tell us." - James Gleeson |
