'Preposterous comedy' a must-see romp

13 MAY 2014

"Oh my god, I've been kidnapped and I hate what I'm wearing" is a new musical comedy thriller for the stage starring Charles Sturt University (CSU) theatre/media lecturer Ms Kate Smith. The production is another witty collaboration between Ms Smith, who teaches at the School of Communication and Creative Industries at CSU in Bathurst, and Mr Drew Fairley who wrote and directed the show. The two have previously wowed audiences with their vaudevillian cabaret offerings Bangers and Mash, and The No Chance In Hell Hotel. The show features new songs by composer and rock star Mr Mikey Lira, and is described as part Alice in Wonderland, part King Kong, and part Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The outfits worn by Ms Smith's character 'Sugar' – a champagne showgirl with a beer career – would make a Hollywood red carpet blush. "Oh my god, I've been kidnapped and I hate what I'm wearing" is at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre (BMEC), William Street, Bathurst, from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 May. Tickets for this new work at BMEC are now only available are for the 2pm matinee on Saturday 17 May.
